Hello all
I am a British citizen planning to move to Barcelona in a few weeks.
I've read about procedures and now I'd like some practical information about residence formalities, which in my case is obtaining the NIE number and the "Certificado de registro como ciudanano de la Unión" . I would especially appreciate information from people who have done this recently.
Thanks for any info and perhaps see some of you soon!

Which office exactly do I have to go to
Here is the official information
Specifically, I am not sure which of the folllwing two is where I should go because the first one is for Tarjetas but I'm only applying for a Certificado:
OFICINA DE EXTRANJEROS DE BARCELONA (Expedición Tarjetas Comunitarias) Dirección: C/ Balmes, 192
OFICINA DE EXTRANJEROS DE BARCELONA (*)Dirección: Paseo San Juan, 189 08037 - Barcelona

I read somewhere that you have to go to a certain Police station to get the " proof of payment" form.
But if I understand correctly the wording on form EX-16, the form is given to you at the Oficinia to Extranjeros.
Which is it?
(3) What is the delay to get the (i) NIE and (ii) Certificado? A few days, weeks?
Or does the Oficina to Extranjeros issue them on the same day you apply?
(4) Does the address have to be your address or just a physical address (e.g. a friend's address)
