Hints for this Quiz
Think: "to correct / to provide missing documents" – which verb expresses that?
"Subsanar" = to correct the defects of the case: provide missing documents, correct mistakes. Official letters often say: "Tiene 10 días para subsanar" – "You have 10 days to remedy/correct this."
It’s about the date when the document stops being valid.
"Caducar" = to expire; "caducidad" = the date after which a document is no longer valid.
Here it’s about applying for a new period of the document, not about it being "extended automatically".
This time limit rule is usually phrased like this: you can apply to extend/renew 60 days before and up to 90 days after the expiry date. This refers to the "renovación" of your residence permit.
This is not a new card, but an extension of the current one’s validity.
Submitting your application within the time limit "extends" the validity of your current authorization until a decision is made – the verb is "prorrogar" (an automatic extension).
This is not to "extend" or "renew", but to "correct a deficiency" in the file.
In these notifications they ask you to "subsanar el expediente": fix the issues, provide the missing documents. A very common phrase is: "Tiene 10 días para subsanar" – "You have 10 days to remedy/correct this."
Think: renew the authorization for a new period before it expires.
"Renovar" = to redo/renew a permit for a new period before it expires. In everyday speech people often say "voy a renovar mi NIE", although strictly speaking what you renew is "la autorización".
