(Extract of the Spanish regulations)

Governmental Agency

The amateur authorization and licences are issued by a governmental agency known as the Secretaría de Estado de Telecomunicaciones y para la Sociedad de la Información (SETSI). The SETSI runs offices located in each of the 52 Spanish Provinces, these are called the Jefatura de Inspección de Telecomunicaciones.
The addresses of the Provincial Telecommunications Offices (PTO) can be found at http://www.mityc.es/Telecomunicaciones/

Amateur Authorization

Any person wishing to obtain an amateur licence must prove their knowledge regarding radio matters and radio regulations. Examinations are carried out twice a year, usually in April and October.
After passing the exam, an Operator Certificate is issued, upon receipt of which you may apply for the amateur authorization. This authorization includes the callsign. Download aplication
If you have a foreign amateur licence and your country has implemented the HAREC Certificate (CEPT Recommendation T/R 62-02), you must first obtain this certificate from your Government and then apply for an EA callsign at the PTO of the province where you are living or you are moving to.
The amateur authorization must be renewed every five years but the authorization fee is only paid the first time (see below).

Station licence

For operating your own station you must apply for a station licence. A report about antennas and equipment to be installed in your home in Spain must be enclosed with this application. Download aplication
You must apply for a base and/or mobile station. If you have got a base station you can also apply for a portable permanent station in other location.
All papers must be delivered to the respective PTO.
Antenna installations must generally be carried out by an approved telecommunication installing firm (Download), unless the PTO considers it can be done by the amateur due to the simplicity of the antenna system.
It is mandatory to contract third party liability insurance for the antenna system, previous to installing them, but it is not necessary to obtain the permission of the co-proprietors in the case of an apartment building or similar.
The amateur authorization and the station licence can be requested at the same time.
