FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does your service work?

We search and book your appointment with the details from the form. After you submit, we text you a tracking link so you can check status, make changes or cancel. When a slot opens, we book it in your name and notify you. We are a private service: we do not sell appointments and we are not the government.

How long does it take to get an appointment?

It depends on the procedure and province. We search 24/7; often a slot appears within days, but busy offices or constraints (a specific office…) can take longer.

How much does it cost?

The management fee is €18.90 (VAT included) for any available office — the fastest option. Choosing a specific office adds €5.00 (total €23.90). That fee is charged only if we secure your appointment. If you already have another active request, each extra one costs €5.00 up front (non-refundable). Official government fees are not included.

Do I have to pay before I have the appointment?

The first active request is not charged up front: we book the appointment first, then you pay the management fee. Each extra active request costs €5.00 now, before that search starts.

Can I cancel or change my request?

Yes. After you submit, you get a tracking link by WhatsApp: from there you can check status, edit your details or cancel. To change procedure, province or office: cancel and start a new request.

I already have a pending appointment. Can I still use the service?

If you already have an active appointment for the same procedure, the office usually blocks another. Cancel yours first, then start the search with us.

Can I keep searching on my own?

Yes. If you get an appointment first, cancel your request from the tracking link so we do not book another one with your details.

What documents do I need?

It depends on the procedure and province. The procedure page includes the official information. We are not a law firm or administrative agency.
