Recently stopped by the Traffico & I assume National police near Alicante all papers in order, apart from the original permit/residencia A4 sheet that had been lost by her indoors, I did have a photo copy, however they said it was worthless unless stamped by a Notary…..however I was allowed to continue along with a Denuntia type document from Traffico.  
 No problem, Off to Elche for a replacement .  However it is not quite that simple, they now want even more info, proof of income, health cover etc. prior to issuing a new small credit card piece of paper.  Basically looks like Spain is bring back the old rules from the 90’s regards resident requirements. Apparently the law changed 3 weeks ago and proof of income and health cover is now a requirement if you want to live in Spain.
