What do I need to take to my Spanish NIE Number Appointment.

Once your order has been placed and we have emailed you the documents we recommend printing off 3 copies of each. You will need to take these along with you to the Police Station to get your NIE Number.

You will also require your passport and 2 Passport sized recent photos. These must follow the same rules as getting a UK Passport with regards to the quality and size of the photos, ie: No hats or glasses, blank background.

How will I find the Police Station to Apply for my NIE Number?

Once you have made your NIE Number booking with us we will email you the documents. Inside this email will be a Google Maps link to the police station where you need to attend to obtain your NIE Number. The full address and postcode will be included also.

We can not emphasize enough, it is vitally important to be at the police station BEFORE (if possible 30 minutes) prior to your booking time. The Spanish Police is unlikely to give any leniency for turning up late and you may need to book a new appointment and start from scratch.

What happens at the Police Station when I go to apply for my NIE Number?

We advice you to arrive at the Police Station early to apply for your NIE Number. Parking in Spain can sometimes be a problem so leave plenty of time. You will have been issued a time and Possibly a number. If you have not been given an order number its likely you will be given one on arrival.

Once your NIE Number is called up hand in all your documentation to the officer. You will also need to give him your two passport sized photos and show him your passport. Please ensure before the date of your NIE Number appointment that your passport is Valid with at least 6 months until the expiry date.

You will then be asked to either come back latter in the afternoon to collect your NIE Number or possibly another day. The Police officer issuing your NIE Number will let you know.

I’m a UK Citizen. What will happen with my NIE Number after Brexit, and if I don’t already have one should I apply for my NIE Number Pre-Brexit?

Our current understanding is, that if you already have your NIE Number in Spain this number will stay with you for life, even after Brexit. However, although the new rules are yet to be announced we believe the NIE Number system will continue to operate after Brexit for UK Citizens, however the level of proof required may become higher.

Please note: non-EU citizens will need to provide Health insurance cover to obtain a NIE Number.

What proof do I have to provide to get my NIE Number?

If your an EU Citizen the level of proof required of your need for a NIE Number is much lower than for non-EU Citizens. Read here about NIE Number proof.

How we book your NIE Number Appointment and why its sometimes the next day before we can book you in.

We will use your details to book your appointment in the town/city you require using the Spanish ‘Cita Previa’ website. NIE Number Appointments for busy area’s are usually released around 9am in the morning and they can go fast.

If you place your order in the afternoon/evening its very likely that we will need to access the Spanish NIE Number booking website the next day when the appointments are released.

Please be patient, our aim is to book you in as soon as possible.

I’ve been told in an online EX-PAT forum I can just walk into any Police station and ask for a NIE Number. Is this right?

If only life was this Simple… Years ago this was the likely case in Many towns in Spain. We Currently do not know of a single police station in Spain that you can obtain your NIE Number without a Cita Previa appointment.

Can I get my NIE Number at the Spanish Embassy before I move to Spain?

It is possible to get a temporary NIE Number from Spanish Embassy in your country before you travel to your new life in sunny Spain. Depending on where you live and how easy you find it to reach an embassy is something to weigh up. Here at MY NIE NUMBER SPAIN, we are able to book your appointment for the week you arrive in Spain (pending availability at the police station).

I booked my NIE Number appointment myself and made a mistake. I now can’t cancel it Can you help?

The Spanish booking website is temperamental at the best of times. The booking cancellation section works sometimes, and is not available for weeks on end at other times. You can only have 1 CITA PREVIA appointment at a time.

Unless you are 100% sure about how to use the Spanish website we do not recommend trying to book your own appointment.

What is the NIE Number tax?

Each NIE Number is subject to a police tax of 9.64. We will provide you with a form to take to the bank before your appointment which you will need to get stamped, and hand in at your appointment. Its unfortunately not possible for us to do this for you as you need the original bank stamp on the document to hand the the police.

Can I make just one NIE Number appointment yet hand in paperwork for both my partner and I?

Each NIE Number applicant at the Police station requires their own CITA PREVIA appointment. The police will not process more than one application per booking.

To get your Spanish NIE Number today use our easy Simple NIE Number booking form and our staff will be in contact soon.

As EU Citizens the Shaw family made the move to a new life in Spain in January 2017. Jackie and Steve moved over with their Daughter Sophia and opened a café/bar in Benidorm. They all needed their NIE Numbers before they could start working. They Said:

We had heard a lot about the fact we needed to get a Spanish NIE Number in Benidorm before we could start working.
We looked at a few websites but they was expensive and required us to visit a Notary in Spain. When we found the MY NIE NUMBER website was pleased to find it was so economical as for three of us with a different website would have cost almost 600 euros. We found the online NIE Number booking form easy to use and had our NIE Numbers within 2 weeks.
We would highly recommend you. Thank you.
