Simple process
We will…
01
We get your paperwork right
Tell us a little about your move to the the Costa Blanca, and we will tell you precisely which papers your case calls for. We complete the EX-15, the Modelo 790-012 and everything else carefully, so nothing comes back to you marked wrong.
02
We chase down your appointment
Instead of you refreshing the official site for weeks, we watch the Alicante cita previa system around the clock and claim the first genuine slot the moment it appears.
03
We are there on the day
When the appointment arrives, we can come along to the immigration office in Alicante, smooth over any wrinkles, and make sure you leave with your NIE and a smile.

When you cannot be here in person
The remote route to your NIE
Everything we do is done on the ground in Alicante — the file, the hunt for a slot, the counter on the day. If you are still overseas and cannot get here for any of that, these are the two outfits we point people towards.
Gestoraz for online filing from abroad
A no-frills option for anyone who cannot reach a Spanish office in person: the documents go across by email and the NIE request is presented on your behalf from Spain.

Why NIE Alicante
Local, fast and honest
Most NIE and TIE procedures for the province are handled at the Oficina de Extranjería de Alicante on Calle Campo de Mirra, while empadronamiento is done at your local ayuntamiento. We cover the whole metropolitan area, from El Campello and San Juan down to Santa Pola and Elche.
Right here on the coast
We are a team rooted in Alicante, on first-name terms with the local office and well versed in the small habits of the the Costa Blanca. When someone genuinely cannot travel, we say so and point them to a remote provider like AnchorLess rather than pretend the distance does not matter.
Approved the first time
We get your file accepted at the first attempt, so a scarce appointment is never wasted on a missing signature.
Honest, upfront prices
You will know the cost before we begin. No fine print, no surprises tucked away at the end.
Everything explained in English
We do the talking with the Spanish administration and then set it all out for you in clear, plain English.

How the NIE works in Alicante
The cita previa, the documentación, the Oficina de Extranjería — answered.
The asignación de NIE in Alicante follows the national trámite: fill in the EX-15 solicitud, pay the Modelo 790-012 tasa, secure a cita previa at the Oficina de Extranjería, then present your documentación and pasaporte at the appointment. We carry the whole solicitud from first form to finished number. If you cannot attend the cita in person, an online gestoría such as Gestoraz can present the same solicitud from abroad.
The NIE and residencia procedures for Alicante are dealt with at the Oficina de Extranjería among the local administraciones públicas. Its dirección and teléfono are on our contact page, ready to open in Google Maps — and remember, every trámite needs a cita previa first.
The cita previa is requested online through the sede electrónica of the administraciones públicas, and by teléfono or SMS for a few trámites. Slots in Alicante vanish at speed, so we keep watch on the extranjería system and secure your cita on your behalf.
The documentos necesarios are the EX-15 solicitud, your pasaporte or DNI with a copy, proof of the reason for the request, the paid Modelo 790-012, and at times a certificado de empadronamiento or carta de invitación. We pin down the precise list for your case in Alicante.
A renovación calls for a fresh cita previa at the extranjería oficina in Alicante, the renewal solicitud, up-to-date documentación and the right certificados. We steer the entire renovación so nothing is left to lapse while you enjoy the the Costa Blanca.
The horario of the Oficina de Extranjería in Alicante is generally weekday mornings, Monday to Friday, with atención al público strictly by cita previa. Do check the exact hours and servicio details on our contact page before any consulta.
