How guides are checked
- Every fee, deadline, form and rule in a guide is quoted from a source in the Spanish original, with the exact wording kept on file.
- Legal facts rest on the Spanish legal text (BOE, DOGV) or an official sede; agency and forum pages are never the basis for a rule.
- Each guide shows when it was last verified and what could not be confirmed.
