Thanks in advance

Hi Rookiecookie,

Why do you need to "renew"...............

Form EX14 ............to apply..........as you already have an NIE are you trying to get a new copy

Dear Enrique,

As in the title - I am not renewing my NIE number - just the certificate.

The green certificate is only valid for three months, I need a new one and my last one is more than three months old.

The previous posts which I have read by the way, are a little confusing, which is why I posed the question.

I am sure that you do not mean to come accross in your response as you do, but I suppose that can not be helped.

Perhaps an explanation of the forms and their purposes in the FAQ's would help

I didn't realise you could renew your NIE, I have always had the same one, but it was never green, think i will have to read the thread lol ! Don't want to be missing anything

Can you be quite clear just what it is that you are trying to renew?

The green certificate you have sounds like the Certificate of Registration for EU foreigners. If so that does not need renewing.

An NIE certificate is white and does not need renewing.

The only certificate that I am aware of that is only valid for 3 months is a Padron certificate and it doesn't actually show an expiry date.

Ah ha - now my penny has dropped .... I think ...

So the green NIE only needs renewing for a change of name or address

The padron only lasts for three months

Simples .... now .... I think .....

Hi Rookiekookie,
Good to hear you got it sorted...............
I just thought you may have had some inside info..........hence my my question why........

They keep moving to goal posts so always expecting changes..............

[peteroldracer]

No wonder people have problems with their Spanish when they cannot take in simple English - nickienackierookiecookie still refers to the Certificate of Registration for EU foreigners as identified by Sid as "the green NIE ".
Concentrate now!

[Rookiekookie]

Claro .....

No, it's for life, no need to renew unless you leave the country for more than 2 years unbroken absence.

And it is not an NIE, it is a "certificado de registro como residente comunitario".

Your criticism of Enrique is a little unfair as you started the post with a question arising from a misunderstanding and non sequiturs. I think we are all pretty sure what we are talking about now.
If you wish to get a new certificado de registro como residente comunitario for some reason or another, you need to complete form EX18.

Hi - I have just posted our experience re changing our Tarjeta de Residence for the EU cert - you might like to view it. viewtopic.php?f=41&t=28451

Gasman's post once again highlights how the Samara thing ids done entirely differently in different parts of Spain.
We got our new green certificates from Torre del Mar police station.
No appointment possible or needed.
Just turned up and had our certificates in less than an hour,
the slowest part of the process was walking to, queuing and walking back from the bank to pay the fee.
