The Spanish government will start to introduce a new format residence document for UK nationals in Spain from next week.
This is called the Tarjeta de Identitad de Extranjero ot TIE. It will include wording that the holder is a beneficiary of the WA. (Withdrawal Agreement)
It's important to stress that UK nationals who are already registered and in possession of a green paper certificate (A4 or credit card size) have no obligation to obtain the new TIE. They may request it however if they wish. There is no time limit to exchange from the green paper to the TIE (ie people do not have to rush at the end of the year).
The Spanish government are due to publish information about the process any day now, probably on Monday.
The government have a definitive guide to health care in Spain including The Canary Islands
