Month early

Can anyone help?

Where do you apply for the NIE number for residents of Dream Hill 2 ? There seems to be a lot of confusion as to where you can apply for it. I have been told by some that the local police station in Playa Flamenca  , while others say you need to go to Torrevieja.

We are going out on the 24th April and want to sort the NIE and see what progress has been made since our last visit in Jan 07.

Any help welcome

bill,

We applied for ours at the local town hall/police station I think it is at Playa Flamenca where the Mercadona is we went early with our estate agent got our ticket then went back at around 10.00 with estate agent and solicitor and everything was stamped and our NIE's came through about 3 weeks later.

Do you need a solicitor ? We intend to do any paperwork ourselves and have them send the NIEs to the Atlas International office ( who we bought the property through ) in Torrevieja for us to collect when we next come over. I have copies of the application and passport phots etc.

Many thanks for the information, it's much appreciated

Bill

Bill,

You only need one to make sure the paperwork is filed in properly and translate if needed if you are confident you have all the paperwork filed in correctly and have the relevant paperwork to go with it you can do it on your own.

You still need to go early and get one of those supermarket meat counter tickets though

Many thanks for all the info.

You would think that in this day and age they would have a more modern way of doing things rather than a supermarket type ticket to process a document that everyone now needs!

I downloaded a translation of the NIE form from the web and it seems straight forward enough. Hopefully that will be the case when we get there.  At least we now know where to go to process it.
