The official Telegram bot of Spain's Ministry of Justice for checking where a Spanish nationality-by-residence application stands, one of the few channels the ministry uses for this information.
Anyone who has applied for Spanish nationality by residence knows the waiting part: files take a long time to resolve, and the question is always the same, has anything moved? The Ministry of Justice answers that question through a small set of channels. Its own information page on nationality by residence says status information is given exclusively online, by phone or through Telegram, and names this bot as the Telegram route.
That makes @justicianacionalidadbot less a general assistant than a single-purpose status window. You open it, identify your file as the bot asks and read the current state of the procedure. It does not take applications, receive documents or book appointments; for those you still go through the ministry's electronic office (Sede Electrónica) or an in-person registry. Older files follow their own path too: the ministry sends applications from 2014 and earlier to the online consultation in the Sede Electrónica, and 2015 online applications to the citizen access with the digital certificate used to apply.
Its value is the source. Plenty of unofficial channels and forums promise news on nationality files; this one is named on mjusticia.gob.es, so what it tells you comes from the ministry itself. The trade-off is scope: it serves one Spanish procedure, in Spanish only, and does nothing else by design.

Yes. The ministry's page on nationality by residence on mjusticia.gob.es names justicianacionalidadbot as the Telegram channel for status information, next to the online and phone channels.
No. The bot only reports status. Applications and additional documents go through the ministry's electronic office or an in-person registry.
