Padrón system collapse in Alicante: appointments exhausted within half an hour despite three-week advance booking
The appointment system for padrón registration in Alicante is experiencing saturation, with slots running out in 30 minutes despite opening three weeks in advance.
The padrón registration service at Alicante Ayuntamiento is experiencing a state of collapse that is generating long waits and frustration amongst residents. Available appointments are published three weeks in advance, but are exhausted in barely half an hour.
The saturation of the system forces users to log on at specific times to try to secure an appointment, with little chance of success. This situation particularly affects new residents and foreigners who need to process their padrón registration.
The problem highlights a lack of resources or organisational deficiencies in an essential service for residents. Padrón registration is a mandatory requirement for multiple administrative procedures, from access to healthcare to banking transactions.
Municipal authorities have not announced concrete measures to resolve the situation, which continues over time generating growing discontent amongst those who need to complete this fundamental procedure.
