Short
  • The official service is available for the Delegacions y Subdelegaions cases: SMS is 651,714,610 with the text "NIE" and number or "EXPE" and case number of 15 characters, or a call to 902,02 22, 22. Data only information, service is not available to EU citizens [1].
  • UGE cases on Ley 14/2013 (DNV) lead another division, and we didn't find a separate public tracker for them: the main electronic sede channel of the Ministry of Inclusion [2][3].
  • Electronic notification is deemed to have been received when you or a representative have opened it. If electronic form is required or selected by you, it is rejected after 10 calendar days without opening (article 43 Ley 39/2015) [4].
  • Silence on various procedures means different: reagrupación, Spanish family, NIE and first application no lucrativa this refusal, on the application of UGE for DNV and extension no lucrativa consent. Read the link on your procedure page [3][5][6].
  • Keep the file number and filing document, they're both for checking and for legal advice.

How to verify the expediente de extrandjería: official channels

Page sede.administracionespublicas.gob.es, devoted to the status of the case, describes two channels [1]This information on the progress of cases in the case of the ocinas de extrandjería is referred to as the responsible authority as Delegacions y Subdelegaciones del Gobiero.

  • SMS. Number 651,714,610, no extra charge. Write the word NIE, a space and your number, for example "NIE X00000111L", or the word EXPE, a space and a case number of 15 characters. [1]The case number of the other length system will reject the error report [1].
  • Phone. 902 02 22 22 22; the system also provides data in an informative form [1].

The system adds a reminder to the answer: "Datos de carácter informativo." This means that the message does not replace the solution or create legal effects. The service is not intended for EU citizens: they need to contact the office where the map was drawn up. [1]We have not found a formal list of the status language, so do not judge the case by the single word from the answer: read the decision and find the date of the notification.

What a channel for what business

Not all cases are tracked in one way. First, identify the organ, then the channel.

Notifications: when the period is considered to be in progress

Article 43 Ley 39/2015 provides that: electronic notice shall be deemed to have been received when it has been made available. If the notice is mandatory or you choose it yourself and there are no 10 calendar days of access from the time it is placed, it shall be considered rejected. [4]Therefore, make arrangements for who enters the sede and how quickly you are informed of new documents, especially if the application is handled by the representative.

The report of Hoja 18 of the Spanish Ministry of Family states the same thing differently: if a decision cannot be given, it is announced on Tablón Edictal [9]Therefore, the decision letter cannot be missed without consequences.

Article 53 Ley 39/2015 gives the applicant the right to know at any time the status of the case, the meaning of silence, the body conducting the case and the acts taken; to receive copies of the case file; and, in electronic relations, to view the information via Punto de Acceso General [4]As your case works, depending on the services the authority has engaged, if you are not informed of the status of the case, you may request it in writing.

The first document to be considered is the report of the beginning of the review. Article 21.4 Ley 39/2015 requires the authority to send a communication to the applicant within 10 days of the receipt of the application to the electronic registry with a maximum decision period, the consequences of silence and the date on which the application was received by the competent authority. [4]Keep this message with the case number: without it, it is difficult to prove from when the months are counted.

What is silence: the timing and implications of procedures

The duration of the decision and the significance of the silence vary.

ProcedureDurationSilence
Regrupación (article 68.6 RD 1155/2024)2 monthsRefusal [5]
Family of a Spanish citizen (art. 97.6)2 months from deliveryRefusal [5]
Children under articles 159 and 1601 monthRefusal [5]
Map of the EU citizen ’s family (EX-19, Policy)3 monthsRefusal [6]
NIE on application (art. 205.4)5 daysRefusal [5]
No. lucrativa, primary application (art. 63.4)1 month from the consulateRefusal [5]
Extension no lucrativa (article 64.8)3 months from deliveryConsent (silencia positivo) [5]
UGE application for Ley 14/2013 (article 76)20 days from electronic applicationConsent (silencia positivo) [3]

For the rest of the procedure, the meaning of silence and the time limit are indicated on the official page of each: Policía has this line "Efecto de la falta de resolucion", in the Ministry's reports the section "Plazo de resolucion". It is not appropriate to declare a prolonged case approved or dismissed until you have verified it in your own way. Detailed time frame: UGE and extrajería time calendar, about the silence: silencio positivo.

If things don't change long: how to proceed

  1. Find the filing document. Date of registration, file number (15 characters) and copy of the application. [1].
  2. Open the notices. in sede or Mercury: it may already have a requerimiento. How to Answer Requerimiento [4].
  3. Count the time frame It is your procedure, given the possible suspensions in the request for documents (art. 22.1.a Ley 39/2015) [4].
  4. Check SMS status and write down the answer with the date [1].
  5. Write to the office. for those contacts that are given to your authority, with case number, NIE, date of submission and one specific question [8].
  6. If the deadline is up And you've been waiting for a rejection or a decision, and you've got to gather a timeline and ask for an individual review: the possible action depends on how the law interprets silence in your procedure. Reposión, alzada and court.

Typical Errors

  • They think the SMS response is "a solution." It's an information response. [1].
  • Looking for a "one tracker" for all cases: UGE, consulate and police work through other channels [1][3][5].
  • Do not open the notification in sede 10 calendar days and lose the deadline [4].
  • They take silence for approval. For most general procedures, it's a refusal. [5][6].
  • They pass the status screen instead of the decision: the document itself is required for appeal.
  • No copy of the filing document or case number is requested from the representative.
  • Writes a general "when the decision comes", without a file number, NIE and date of delivery [8].
  • The right to travel by status is concluded, and the documents required for departure and return are: autorización de regreso.

When Individual Review Is Needed

A review is needed if the decision has arrived and the time limit for response or appeal is already in place; silence on your procedure means waiver and deadline has expired; status has changed and you do not understand what it means; the case is a representative to whom you do not have access; on family application, different participants in different proceedings. The answer depends on the facts, not on the general pattern.
