Living in Elche: what to know about your procedures

Elche is the second city in the province of Alicante by population, but the Immigration Office that decides its residents' files is the one in Alicante, in the capital. The padrón is done at Elche town hall, also if you live in one of its outlying districts. The capital is close, though every in-person errand depends on getting an appointment; handling your file online leaves you only the compulsory trips.

The footwear industry, farming and services have brought neighbours from Morocco, Latin America and Eastern Europe to Elche. Most common here are arraigo, renewals of residence and work permits, family reunification and, after some years, nationality by residence.

Frequently asked questions about immigration in Elche

See all questions
I live in Elche. Do I have to go to Alicante?
To file, only if you do it yourself: with “Do it yourself” you go in person, by appointment, to the Immigration Office of Alicante. With “We file it for you”, if the procedure can be filed online, we register the application over the internet. Fingerprinting for the card is done at the National Police, by appointment; the confirmation shows the place.
People mention several types of arraigo. Which one is mine?
The regulations distinguish several forms: social, socio-occupational, socio-educational, family and second-chance. Each requires a period of stay in Spain and different conditions: a contract, training, a family tie or a previous residence permit. It is not chosen at random: the test asks about your situation and tells you which one fits, or tells you clearly if you do not qualify yet.
Does ResiLegal have an office in Elche?
No, and you do not need one. ResiLegal is an online service for the whole of Spain: the test, the documents, the signature, the payment and the tracking are done from the website or the app, and you talk to us by chat, WhatsApp, Telegram, phone or video call.
