The NIE, also known as the Número de Identidad de Extranjero, is a unique identification number assigned to foreigners.
It is required for various legal, financial, and administrative processes, such as:
Working & paying taxes
Opening a bank account
Buying/renting property
Starting a business
Registering a car/driver’s license
Accessing healthcare & social security
Legal matters (inheritance, contracts, etc.)
Although Spain has taken steps to simplify the NIE application process, appointments are still very limited, so the standard process still takes 4 – 12 weeks. However, with our NIE Nova service, this process takes 14 days or less.
The exact paperwork varies with the purpose of your NIE request. There are certain documents that every applicant must provide, such as the EX-15 form/EX-18 form, the Modelo 790-012 fee form, and a photocopy of the passport, but additional items differ case-by-case (purchase contract, job offer, enrolment letter, etc.).
