To check the congestion in the administration, it is sufficient to contact the prior appointment service to renew the National Identity Document (DNI). Almeria capital has the first available appointment as of yesterday. El Ejido, Roquetas de Mar and Roquetas de Mar will have to wait at least until September 7, while Huercal-Overa is the only place in Almeria that offers appointments starting from the 29th of July.
Facua-Consumidores en Accion, after receiving complaints from the CSIF and UGT unions, has done an analysis of the 50 province capitals and two autonomous Spanish cities. It has found a “collapse” in many of them.
The president of Facua Olga Ruiz presented the study yesterday. It contains the results of consulting as of July 6, when the first appointment was offered to the user to renew the DNI or Passport. This is the date that 95 units of documentation are distributed between the 50 provincial capitals in addition to Ceuta or Melilla.
The organization consulted 95 offices, of which 23 have availability for September and 46 offer appointments on other dates in August. This means that almost half the offices in 50 province capitals or autonomous cities are not available for September, while 46 of them offer appointments on different dates in August.
Facua has taken this into consideration and asked the Ministry of the Interior for the filling of the 2,500 non-police personnel vacancies. This would reduce the heavy workload of dispatch offices and renew DNI and Passport.
