Loading ...SPAIN - NIE/NIF FORMS
To buy property, a car, a house or a boat etc. you will need an NIE number. You will also need it, along with your bank details to get services such as water, electricity or a telephone line. It is also needed for other goods and services, the purchase of insurance, for signing on purposes at the National Social Security and to start work.
This number is required by everyone in Spain who has any official business to conduct. This number identifies them on all documents.
The NIE and NIF are the same number. The NIE confirms your identity but when you use the number for any fiscal function it is called an NIF.
To obtain a number you apply in person to the police or have your lawyer apply for you. If your lawyer applies for you he must have your power of attorney and your completed NIE form ex14/R.D.2393/2004 with section 4 completed.
If your Spanish is good you can complete the form at the police station and queue again to hand it in or if you are going to have problems filling it in order an English Translation of the NIE form. It comes complete with instructions and a list of other documents you will need to take with you. Each person then returns to the police station, signs it there and hands it in. Or if your lawyer is handling it he will complete your application.
You will also need your passport with a photocopy and two coloured passport sized photographs.
Once you have your NIE Registration document keep it safe. If it is required at any office give them a photocopy but take care of your original copy.
