If you need any official certificate from the British Consulate in Alicante, please be aware that from 1st December 2011 the Consulate will be implementing an appointment system.
According to the Consulate, "the appointment system will mean that you can avoid queuing and will ensure that the Consulate can deliver the service in a more customer-friendly and efficient manner". Or it may mean that you have to queue at home for several days first!
Anyone who needs to go to the Consulate in Alicante from 1st December onwards should ensure they make an appointment beforehand. At present, appointments can be booked by emailing to Alicante.Consulate@fco.gov.uk with ‘Notarial appointment request’ in the subject area. An on-line appointment system will be introduced shortly. Those who do not have access to email can call the Consulate on 902 10 93 56 or send their request by fax on 965 14 05 28.
This will not affect applications for Emergency Passports, which will continue to be available from 08:30-13:30 from Mondays to Fridays without prior appointment.
