• If the documentation has already been submitted to register university-access exams (hereafter, “PAU”) in Catalonia, you do not need to re-submit this (for example, family concession card).
• If the UAB already has current valid information you do not need to resend it (because you presented it at a different UAB centre the previous year, for example).
• If the UAB has the documentation, but it is not valid, you must submit the new documentation, except if this documentation is a family concession card issued in Catalonia.
• In all other cases, you must submit the documentation accrediting gratuity or discount status through the documentation form provided by your academic-management office.

Afterwards, you must present the original or an authorised copy in person or by certified mail to your Academic Management Office before 8 November. Applicants who do not present the original documents by this date the registration fees will be modified and the corresponding amount charged.
