Not a public office

NIE Benidorm is a private, independent service. No public body runs it, funds it or endorses it: not the Policía Nacional, not the Subdelegación del Gobierno en Alicante, not the Ayuntamiento de Benidorm. It cannot influence any decision they take. The guides here are general information rather than legal advice, and each procedure they describe is open to you directly at the administration, where you pay the official fees and nothing else.
