NIE number

Postby gerryh » Thu Apr 30, 2009 5:30 pm

Our son will be here for a few days soon.
Whilst he is here I thought it would be a good idea for him to get a NIE number. Makes it easier for him when he inherits our house and money, if there is any left by then.
What are the current requirements/ procedure for obtaining a NIE number?
Can the form be downloaded from the internet?
I know how we obtained ours but that was 5 years ago. What was correct then is not necessarily correct today and might not be correct next week.
We will be getting it at the Torre del Mar police station.
Cheers
Gerry

As always there is no definitive answer. The instructions state that documentation justification for the reason for the application is required and this is sometimes asked for, sometimes not.

I would suggest that you state that it is for opening a bank account but make it clear that he does not require the certificate of registration only the NIE number.

There is also now a fee of about €9. You will have to obtain a form, go and pay at the bank, then get back in the queue.

The application form can be found here:

I took people to Motril today for theirs and the fee was 16e01c why the one, god knows anyway, they needed the form and also copy of the passport, also they need to see the passport so make sure you that and the copy, that was all there was to it.

Thanks both for the replies.
Does the NIE certificate have to be collected by the person it's for?
My son is only here for few days.

If they don't give you the certificate at the time ask if you will be allowed to collect it. Again, this varies from place to place.
