Where can I find the ICIB logos?
There are three different options to download the ICIB logos. First, they can be found in the “Corporate Identity” section, located under “About Us” on this same website. Secondly, they can be downloaded from the corporate identity page of the Government of the Balearic Islands. And finally, they can also be downloaded directly via this link.
I’m having trouble viewing a document on the Electronic Office. What can I do?
If you encounter difficulties viewing any of the documents available on the Electronic Office, it is recommended to open the file by dragging it directly into an open tab of your web browser (such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, etc.). This action usually resolves most issues related to compatibility or document display. Furthermore, if the document shows problems with the display of certain characters, it is advisable to install the Noto Sans font on your device.
I am having trouble uploading documentation to the Electronic Office. How can I do it?
First of all, please note that documents must be attached in the third step of the online procedure. Therefore, the previous fields must be properly completed beforehand. In the "Attach" section, you should also ensure that the documents are submitted in the specified formats and always within the maximum accepted file size.
What should I do if the online procedure does not allow me to attach more documents?
To avoid duplications in the submission of applications, it is recommended to send the documentation through a generic application addressed to the ICIB (DIR3A04035972), indicating the file number to which the documents should be added.
