How we write our guides
Everything we publish must be verifiable. These are our rules.
Our content rules
Official sources only
BOE (Official State Gazette), National Police, Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Inclusion, Government Delegations, consulates and local authorities. Every fact carries a numbered note linking to its source.
Visible review date
Every procedure page and guide shows its last review date (24/10/2026). We review content when rules or fees change.
“Varies by province” when there is no official figure
We do not invent waiting times or success rates. If a figure is not official, we do not publish it.
No legal advice
We prepare documents. We do not give legal advice or act before the authorities. When a case needs it, we say an independent lawyer is advisable.
No appointments for sale
Official appointments are free and personal. We do not sell or book them.
No invented reviews
We do not publish client reviews we cannot verify.
Content lead
The Hola Papeles team prepares and reviews every page and guide from the official sources cited.
