  • Why a NIE number?
    In Spain you need a NIE number for almost everything. From buying a house, to opening a Spanish bank account. But also to work, to order something from a webshop or apply for a telephone subscription.
  • How long does an application take?
    Once we have received all the required information/documents from you, it will take an average of 1 to 3 weeks for you to get your appointment and receive you NIE number. This depends in part on the appointments availability on the Extranjeria office.
  • Do I need a Spanish address?
    You do not need to have an address in Spain to apply for an NIE number.
  • Do I have to be in Spain myself?
    If you choose "NIE 100% Remote", you don't have to be at the appointment yourself (and therefore not in Spain either). If you choose NIE ate ease (by Spanish Notary) You only need to be in Spain to sign the Power of Attorney. You don't have to be at the NIE appointment yourself (and therefore not in Spain either). If you choose "NIE to go!" you must be in Spain for the NIE appointment.
  • What is "the appointment"?
    The physical appointment at the Extranjeria office. There are often long queues here and you have to deal with bureaucracy. With our help, you don't have to wait long and you know exactly where you stand.
  • What is a Power of Attorney?
    Only applicable when you choose "NIE 100% Remote or NIE at ease (by Spanish Notary)". A power of attorney is a document showing that you have authorized us to apply for a NIE number for you.
  • Do you also have an urgent request?
    If you need an urgent appointment, or an appointment on a specific date, and extra charge of €70 applies. In this way, you will be prioritized in our appointments booking list.
  • How do I verify the authenticity of the NIE number?
    You will receive a scan of the document with your NIE number and a "CSV" code. By entering this code on the official website of the Spanish police, you will download the original document with your NIE number on it. Thus, this operation automatically authenticates the authenticity of the document.
