I have just assisted a new 72 year old UK neighbour to achieve residencia and now a SIP card.
We tried to get a face to face appointment in Denia social security but this proved impossible due to covid, all they would give us was a leaflet explaing how to do it online. Since I have an electronic certificate (see Jims Guides), I set myself up as her representative and did it for her. The documents you need to send all have to be in PDF form. I did this by scanning them, copying them to a Word document and converting to PDF. The documents required were the S1 form, passport, residencia green card and, in our case, the form appointing me as representitive.
They processed it really quickly, within 24 hours they had sent back to me by email the document to take to the local health centre to get the SIP card issued.
Not exactly simple if you're not computer literate, in fact there was a software complication I won't bore you with, but if anyone needs help on this, PM me.
