Why trust NEXO?

See where the answer comes from.

  • Every guide cites the official source behind each fact, and shows when it was last checked.
  • Answers show their sources. A source NEXO has checked carries the date; one it hasn't is marked as not checked.
  • Official facts and NEXO's own observations are kept apart, and labelled.
  • When a procedure uses an official form, its guide links to it in the Forms Library.

Questions people ask first

Where do the answers come from?

Official Spanish sources, such as the Ajuntament de Barcelona, the Policía Nacional and the Seguridad Social. Answers show the sources they used and whether NEXO has checked them. When there is no checked source, the answer says so.

What is the difference between a guide, a NEXO Expert and professional services?

A guide shows you how a procedure works so you can do it yourself. A NEXO Expert helps you go through your own situation and prepare your next step. Professional services are for situations that need professional advice or someone qualified to handle the case.

Is it free?

Guides and the Forms Library are free to read. You can ask three questions without an account, and twenty more once you sign in.

Which languages?

English, Spanish and Russian. Official Spanish terms stay in Spanish everywhere, because that is what you will see on the form and hear at the counter.
