Unavailabilty of NIE's

My partner went down to the police station (with our neighbour who is Spanish.....which might have helped), he wasn't seen that day but he left with an appointment for the following week......if all else fails.

Our solicitor got my NIE straight away.

Good luck.

Thank you for that info.  Going in person is perhaps the way forward. Boss (who is Spanish) has rung every morning and just keeps being told there are no appointments.  We asked our solicitor who also claims to keep ringing (not so sure about that though).  My husbands NIE was obtained by power of attorney from the UK with absolutely no trouble at all.  He needed it quickly to buy a car when we got here, and he got it quickly.  It took me by surprise how difficult its proving.

Thank you for helping.

There is a massive backlog due to brexit panic and people suddenly getting all their paperwork in order for residency, and also the fact that if we do leave the EU next week, the system will change. Maybe try getting an appointment in Murcia, you can go online and try to get an appointment booked. I think the appointments go live first thing in the morning. Good luck 

Thank you I didn’t know about being able to go to Murcia, I was told Cartagena so I thought that’s where I had to go. Will try there. I asked the solicitor if they thought it was brexit and was told it would probably affect pardon and residencia application but they couldn’t see why it would affect NIE’s, I couldn’t quite work that out. Thanks for your help.

contact Miguel Palacio at Liberty Seguros in Los Narejos..he is advertising that they have NIE appointments available

That is really useful.  Thank you so much.  They're our Car and House insurers, I'd no idea they could sort NIE's out.  I'll try them.

Hi no appointments - you actually have to be present - go very early as it can get packed !!! 

Ok thank you, i’ll Need to find out if work will let me have a days holiday and do that, if the worst come to the worst. Someone on here yesterday suggested getting an appointment through Liberty Segura which I might try first. Thanks for your help.

definitely try Miguel here
