How to submit an application
By email, using an application signed with a digital certificate.
In person, by completing the form available on the Transparency Portal of the UNED Associated Centre in Pontevedra and submitting it at any of the locations provided for in Article 16.4 of Ley 39/2015.
Submission period
At any time.
Required documentation
A duly completed and signed application form.
The express written consent of the person concerned when the request for access to public information contains personal data relating to third parties, unless access is authorised by law.
Reasons for the request
As a general rule, applicants are not required to provide reasons for requesting access to public information. However, applicants may explain the reasons for their request, and these may be taken into consideration when the decision is issued.
Requests must provide justification when access to personal data that are not specially protected is requested in the exercise of a right or for research purposes.
Maximum decision period
One month from receipt of the application in the Centre's registry. This period may be extended by a further month where necessary due to the volume or complexity of the information requested.
Provision of access
Access to information will preferably be provided electronically, unless this is not possible.
Where access cannot be provided at the time the decision is notified, it will be granted within no more than ten days.
Where a third party has objected to disclosure, access will only be granted once the period for lodging an administrative court appeal has expired without an appeal being filed, or once such an appeal has been resolved confirming the right to receive the information.
Effect of administrative silence
The application shall be deemed rejected.
Appeals
Any express or presumed decision concerning access may be challenged by submitting a complaint to the Consejo de Transparencia y Buen Gobierno, on an optional basis and prior to bringing proceedings before the administrative courts.
The complaint must be submitted within one month from the day following notification of the contested decision or from the day following that on which administrative silence takes effect.
Decisions concerning access to public information may also be challenged directly before the Administrative Courts within two months from the day following notification. Where no notification has been received, the period shall be six months from the day following that on which the presumed decision takes effect.
