Record in Madrid: 11,044 family cards and express processing in 2025
In 2025, Madrid sharply increased the granting of family cards, reduced the process to 14 days and enabled 30% more households to access this long-standing aid.
Madrid City Council broke records in 2025 by granting 11,044 family cards, a figure representing a 30% increase on the previous year. This social aid, created six years ago to cover the basic needs of vulnerable people, is consolidating its position as a key resource in the capital.
This year’s major new development has been the drastic reduction in processing times: the process has been cut to 14 days, representing a 60% improvement in handling. This agility has allowed more families to access municipal aid quickly and efficiently.
The latest official assessment confirms that Madrid’s social-support model is growing not only in numbers but also in effectiveness. The impact of these measures is reflected in the daily lives of thousands of households which, in record time, have received the necessary financial support.
