notification from bank re NIE renewal
notification from bank re NIE renewal
A friend of mine recently had an email from his bank, Cajamar, saying that he needed to renew his NIE (dated 2004) ... he was told he had 90 days to compllete that renewal .... I did not know banks would send such a notification ... is this genuine or a scam?!

Re: notification from bank re NIE renewal
Hi gavilan,
Came across this from a trawl..................
"If your NIE Number certificate was issued before 2016 it will have a stamp on it saying when it is due to expire. If there is no official stamp you can assume your number is your life long number and you do not need to re-apply for a new one."

All my best learning experiences start with a problem I need to solve.

Enrique I don't think that can be right ! I got mine in 2005 & there's no expiry date on it !

I don't think it's right, either. I got my NIE in 2003 and it doesn't have an expiry date.

Hi,
The way it reads for me..........the second part of my quote.........
"If there is no official stamp you can assume your number is your life long number and you do not need to re-apply for a new one."
We got ours in 2004 and they don't have expiry date..........

There is an official stamp on mine, in blue ink, with the signature of the issuing officer across it, but no mention of an expiry date, it's just the stamp of the Comisaria de Policia Nacional where it was issued.
Re: notification from bank re NIE renewal
official stamp on mine too ... 2001 ... no expiry date given ... and same number on my Residencia ... ?anyone experienced their bank telling them they must renew NIE?

No, neither my husband nor I have.
Re: notification from bank re NIE renewal
My anecdotal is similar. I got a NIE in 2001, and similar to Free at Last's, to take on the property. Last year, because I was getting a car so I got another piece of paper from Torremolinos. The number never changes, but I'd read that the paper is only really good for 3 months if purchasing a big-ticket item like that.
The desk guy said, "You already have a NIE, you don't need to do this."
"I'm buying a car"
"In that case, you need this"
was the conversation.Perhaps, cavilan, your friend is making some sort of transaction and the bank needs a recently issued NIE for it to go through?

as far as I know, my friend has not used his account to pay in or take out for more than a year

Hi,
This may be the problem.............
"as far as I know, my friend has not used his account to pay in or take out for more than a year"
I had an account that only had very small amounts paid in irregular intervals and was asked to "close account"
As it wasn't in the banks interest............

Re: notification from bank re NIE renewal
Is your friend resident or non resident? It may be if non resident this is the certification that has to be submitted by the bank confirming non residence status? Cajamar used to do this for me cost around 30 Euros for them to submit.
Re: notification from bank re NIE renewal
my friend is non-resident ... bobdun may be on the right track ...thanks to all for your responses ... much appreciated
Re: notification from bank re NIE renewal
My guess is that what it will be they do them every 2 years and usually send out a copy which you sign and return for bank to submit.
Re: notification from bank re NIE renewal
We had the same a month or so ago. Went into the bank they said ignore it as others have said the number doesnt expire.only some certificates are only valid for 90 days.bank wondered if it was something to do with brexit but i doubt it.

Re: notification from bank re NIE renewal
As usual there seems to be confusion in this thread between an NIE and a certificado de registro de ciudadano de la unión.
It's not surprising considering the terms used and that the authorities also confuse the two!
