Los Alcázares unveils 24/7 digital certifícate and NIE renewal hub
Foreign and Spanish residents of Los Alcázares can quickly update their documents without an appointment
Updating official documentation in Spain can often be a bit of a hassle, requiring long wait times for appointments and a laborious form-filling process. Not so in Los Alcázares, as the Town Hall has just opened a new Electronic National Identity Document (DNI) Update Point at the municipality's Security Centre.
This means that residents will now be able to renew their digital certs (along with certain NIEs) and change their access codes themselves, without having to book a slot or travel to a central office.
Instead, the simple system has been conveniently set up at the Security Centre, where the Local Police, Civil Protection and Guardia Civil offices are located.
The system is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is not only limited to Spanish citizens with a DNI, but also works for foreign residents with a NIE card that contains a chip. This means that anyone with a chipped NIE card can use the system to update their digital certificate and access code.
Councillor for Police, Mª Carmen Guevara, highlighted the importance of making this service available to the public, stating that it provides a convenient and accessible way for residents to manage their digital identities.
The Government Delegate for the Region of Murcia, Mariola Guevara, attended the launch event and expressed her support for the initiative.
“We at the Town Council are grateful for your support in this important step towards modernisation and accessibility. The collaboration of the Government Delegation and the National Police Headquarters of the Region of Murcia have been essential in making this project a reality,” she said.
