There's nothing to stop you, but it is at the discretion of the new medical centre. All you can do is take your SIP card and ask.

I assume you mean papers issued to you by INSS or, if appropriate, TGSS.

I don't know Catral very well, but as far as I'm aware there's just the medical centre on Calle Proyecto N29.
