Do you know why you had to show your passport if you were already in possession of the tarjeta? My passport will have expired by the time my tarjeta runs out.
You are obliged to have a UK passport if you live in Spain. If you are applying for a the new residencia certificate you must produce a valid passport or proof that you have applied for a new one. |

It was only on the return visit when the information was being entered on computer I pointed out that we were applying for permanent residency and the civilian official amended something on screen. The application form wasn't checked when we presented it so I was surprised we hadn't been asked to show our cards. I don't recall being asked to see our cards even then and we are still in possession of them. They will have a record of the fact that you have been residents for 5 years - this will all be linked to your NIE number. It seems that your police station actually know what they are doing! |

If you live in Spain you renew your passport at the British Consulate Madrid. You can download the forms and do it by post. Follow the instructions, it's dead easy. My husband has just done his.

Phew. That´s sounds do-able.
Ta. (But make sure you get your photograph right (follow the instructions carefully) or they will send your application back. My husband put on some old glasses without lenses for his photograph so that there wouldn't be any reflections!). |
Re: New Residency rules
And passport photos taken in Spanish machines are too small for the British Passport Office and your application will be returned.
As usual, size IS important ;) |

I thought I had left rip-off Britian well and truly behind me, but obviously not!! Yet, another reason to apply for Spanish citizenship. |

The only problem she had was, she had no ID (sent in married name) to pick up the letter from the PO. :curse::curse: I agree with you the price is crazy, did you fill in the questionarre that Sue posted on here a while ago, they are trying put cost it up to mega money, I put the lowest price every time I could. |
Re: New Residency rules
Yes, photo shop is the place to get them done.
As for the price, think it includes a donation to a distress fund for ?? people that need consular assistance i guess. Think that accounts for something like €40 the rest is pretty much on a par with what they pay in the UK. Yes rip off Britain but its only once every 10 years! |
