NIE Number Services

[Crungmungus]

Hey,

Hearing from what others have to say, it looks like a lot of work to get an NIE number. I was thinking, is it not better just to use a company who specialise in this? I found this by chance today:

But I'm guessing there are others people here have had experience with?

I did a calculation on their site, 360 euros! What a joke! Some were 500+!. I admit that it was a bit of an effort to get my NIE, but i wouldnt pay someone 360 euros for it. All you have to do is (i did mine in Madrid):

1) Spend all day on the phone trying to get an appointment (I recommend Skype!)
2) Wait 1-4 weeks
3) Go to appointment with required paperwork.
4) Walk accross the road and pay nominal fee at bank.
5) Go back to office.
6) Get certificate.

Was about 1 hour in total at the office and they printed my certificate there and then.
