Applying for NIEs and registering at the Padron varies from one town to another both in documents they ask for and time taken to obtain these and it can also depend on the frame of mind of the person you are dealing with on the day. I suggest you go armed with all relevant documents possible and where possible in Spanish. Bear in mind you will also have to pay a tax for each application for Residencia (currently 10.20 Euros per application). When you present your applications, you will be given a form with each application. This must be paid at a local bank and when you return to the police station with the receipt you will be given the Residencias. The Residencia will show the NIE number you have been allocated.
