More than a thousand migrants residing in the Lleida region have begun the process to regularize their documentation status within the first nine days of the extraordinary campaign, according to data from the central Administration.

This process, which commenced on April 16, has seen online applications become the preferred method for submission. Across Spain, a total of 130,000 applications were registered during this period, with over a thousand originating from migrants who have resided in the Ponent region for more than nine months.
The Social Security offices in Cappont and Correos branches on Rambla Ferran and Segovia Street, all located in the capital, have processed the in-person documentation for approximately 300 families. Access to these services requires a prior appointment, obtained through the Ministry of Inclusion's website.

"We have room to absorb more demand with the structure we currently have."

Correos and Social Security offices offer 400 weekly appointments, with 24 daily at each postal office and 32 at the Social Security office. However, between 20% and 25% of these appointments went unused last week, while online applications significantly outnumber in-person ones.
Five social entities in Lleida have joined as collaborators in this process, enabling them to process vulnerability reports. These include Pagesos Solidaris (an NGO of Unió de Pagesos) and Fruita amb Justícia Social, who have collaborated since the beginning, with Arrels de Sant Ignasi, Grup Cultural Garrigues, and Asociación Ndiatiguia recently joining. More entities are expected to participate in this initiative.
The coordination meeting, held at the Government Sub-delegation, was attended by representatives from business organizations such as Coell, Pimec, and the Chamber of Commerce, as well as professional associations for lawyers, social graduates, and managers. The latter are regular collaborators with the Foreigners' Office. It is anticipated that businesses will be the primary beneficiaries of the labor force integration resulting from this process.
