Don't miss a cita
Get notified instantly when appointment slots become available for your NIE, TIE, huellas (fingerprints), and more.
We watch availability across every province and office in Spain, so you don't have to.
You book on the official site
Proof, not promises
See the appointment before you chase it
When a slot opens, your notification arrives with a screenshot of the official calendar, the exact days and times we found. You see it is real at a glance, instead of dropping everything only to reach a page that is already empty.
The only cita previa notification service that proves it. Everyone else just sends a link.

How it works
A better way to watch for extranjería appointments
Every year, thousands of people in Spain struggle to book essential procedures — NIE, TIE, residence permits, work authorization, citizenship. Demand for cita previa slots is so high that appointments can be unavailable for weeks or even months.

Many people end up refreshing the booking page several times a day, which disrupts work and personal life. Some miss important deadlines because they cannot get an appointment in time.
Cita Ping checks availability around the clock at offices across Spain. When a slot opens for your procedure and location, you get an instant notification by email or Telegram.
Let the checks run without you. Instead of spending hours refreshing the official website, you find out the moment an appointment opens — and spend that time getting your documents ready to book fast.
