due to apply for NLV we did it last year we have to apply again about november do we need to go through the hole process all the paper work all over again
Hi,we are awaiting our appointment at Alicante. We had to supply all evidence as before regarding funds,we also had to supply a dated marriage licence that needed to be within the last 6 months,then have it apostled and translated. We requested the licence on line and had it sent to a company in Glasgow who did the apostle and sent back to us in Spain which took 2 weeks,we paid extra at the government site for fast track,the bank statements had to be within one month of applying and Alicante also wanted those translating which took again 2 weeks and expensive here in Spain so I suggest you use a UK translation service,for our first application we used a service in Sleaford and it was all done by email, hopefully we have jumped through all the hoops as when you look on the website there is no mention of marriage certificate, translation services. My advice is give yourself plenty of time to get all the information you need,then if they ask for something else you will not be rushed. Our NLV cards expired on 31 July and due to August holidays we are now in the system which caused a problem with the bank when we wanted to take money out but when asked for our cards they told us to come back when we have new cards. Luckily we had money in another account. I joked with my husband that I could technically drive the car now if I cannot prove residency but won't because the police might have a different take on it. I will post on here if anything else causes a hold up.
