The AESA site isn't easy to understand or navigate. But I think I have understood you have to register for E identification as a foreigner. How did you do that please I am in the application and UK isn't even listed as a country when it asks for passport issuer ?

For the benefit of anyone reading this thread in similar circumstances and finding that they can't enter 'UK' as a country, I clarified this on this poster's other thread:

Just an update. 9 months on from submitting my claim to AESA I’m still waiting for a decision. I’ve tried emailing them to ask for an update on progress but the only reply I received gave me a phone number to ring. I rang the number (a Madrid number) but there is no option to choose a different language and unless you are fluent in Spanish is impossible to understand or get through to the correct department. Since it’s now a year since our flight delay I think I now have no option but to go to a claims company.  If AESA are going to allow jet2 to use them for arbitration, in my opinion they should have an English speaking helpline to deal with queries.

I think you may be misunderstanding the roles here - AESA are the Spanish aviation regulator so don't "allow" airlines to "use" them for arbitration but impose such conditions on them (not dissimilarly to what the CAA does in the UK)!  And while many Brits seem to expect foreign organisations to employ English speakers, there really is no such entitlement....
