What you can settle without going to the consulate
- Download the forms (EX-01, EX-15, form 030, 790) and fill them in before the appointment: they are not filled in at the counter.
- Check whether you need a visa: with a US passport you enter Spain visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180.
- Request the certificate of residence by email: it arrives digitally signed within a week, free of charge.
