Questions
Do you cover the wider Costa Blanca?+
The national steps are identical across the province. Where a town hall applies its own padrón rules, we confirm the local document list for your exact municipality before your appointment.
Where is the NIE application submitted in Alicante?+
At Oficina de Extranjería, Alicante. The appointment is booked through the official government system and you attend in person, or someone with a power of attorney attends for you.
Is the NIE the same as registering as an EU resident?+
No. The NIE is an identification number. EU citizens staying longer than three months also need the Certificate of Registration of EU Citizen, which is a separate procedure.
