Requerimiento: A formal request from an authority
Understand requerimiento, what to check and the practical steps to take.
What does it mean?
A requerimiento is a formal request or demand. It may ask for information, evidence or another action connected with a case.
Do not assume it is a refusal, but do not ignore it. Read the specific request and deadline.
An everyday example
A request for missing evidence is a reason to respond to that case, not automatically start a new one.
What to do next
- Verify the sender and match the case reference.
- List each item requested in the notice.
- Check the response route and deadline.
- Send an organised response and retain its receipt.
A useful question to ask
