In Spain you will need it constantly, for getting connected to the internet, getting a new phone contract and even renting or buying a house. If you have lost your NIE Number certificate (the white paper that is stamped with your NIE Number on) you will need to request a new NIE certificate from the Police.

Getting a replacement certificate for your lost Spanish NIE Number and getting the NIE number replacement should be quick and easy as its already been given and the police just needs to run a search on their database to get it back.

If the Police search doesn’t come back with any results with your name you will need to get another NIE Number certificate.

If  you manage to remember the number or keep a photocopy of the original certificate it will be much easier to request a new certificate. It will show up straight away in the data base at the police station.

Having the number to hand will speed up the process at the Police Station and you´ll have your new certificate Fast.

    1. Hi Paul

      As it was issued so long ago if you have not been using it its likely the tie is not active and you will need to apply for a new tie number.

      I hope this helps?

  8. Hi Lisa. Nice to see I’m not the only person who misplaces things 🙂

    I had an NIE issued for a job I had when I lived in Madrid in 2003. No clue where the paperwork is now, nor the number.
    If I go to a police station in Spain now, what will I need to show them to trace me and get a new copy?
    Thanks in advance,

    Max

    1. Hi Julia

      You need to apply for a new one. At your appointment they will search the data base if your old one is still active they will give you a copy, if not they will issue a new number.

      I hope this helps?

  11. Salve, ho perso il foglio originale del NIE bianco e mi serve per poter finalizzare l’empadronamiento. Occorre fissare un appuntamento in polizia per poter farmelo stampare di nuovo?
    Inoltre, sul mio NIE bianco, c’è scritto “NO residente”; è possibile risolvere il tutto tramite il vostro servizio? Perchè ora ho un contratto d’affitto.

    Grazie
