Employment offices for jobseeker registration in Spain

Each region runs its own service, so start with your city

Regional services such as Lanbide in the Basque Country or SAE in Andalusia run their own employment offices, and your home postcode usually decides which one registers you. First registrations are handled in different ways, including whether you can book online or by phone, and you will need identification.
