An NIE number is the identity and tax registration number for foreigners in Spain. It is mandatory if you want to live, work, study, buy a house, open a bank account or register a car in Spain. Without an NIE number, you cannot perform virtually any official or administrative tasks.
No, that is not necessary. You can choose to have the entire process carried out remotely. Quicknienumber will handle the application on your behalf via a notarised power of attorney. Would you prefer to attend the appointment in Spain yourself? Then we will guide you step by step and ensure that everything is prepared for your visit.
Yes, you can request a duplicate of your NIE number. Quicknienumber will help you retrieve and reapply for the document from the appropriate Spanish authority.
No, they are two different things. An NIE number is an identification number for foreigners. The residencia is an official registration as a resident of Spain. For people staying in Spain for more than 90 days, applying for a residencia is mandatory.
Yes, minors also need an NIE number in many cases, for example when enrolling in school, for family reunification or when purchasing property in the child’s name.
In any case, you will need a copy of a valid passport or identity card. Depending on your situation, additional documents may be required, such as proof of economic activity, a purchase contract or a rental contract. For remote applications, a power of attorney is also required.
No, a Spanish address is not required to obtain an NIE number. However, you must indicate in which region you are applying. If you apply for the NIE number remotely, we will take care of this step for you.
Some documents must be translated into Spanish by a certified translator. When you purchase a service from us, we will ensure that the documents are translated correctly.
An apostille is an international legalisation that makes foreign documents legally valid in Spain. For example, if you sign a power of attorney in the Netherlands, it often needs to be stamped with an apostille by the court. We can help you with this and explain when it applies.
A power of attorney is a legal document in which you authorise someone to act on your behalf. When applying for an NIE number remotely, this power of attorney authorises us to attend the appointment on your behalf and complete the process.
In most cases, legalisation can be done easily online via your phone. You sign digitally and confirm your identity via a secure app or method. This can be done within minutes. We will send you clear instructions as soon as you start your application.
This depends on the region and whether you attend the appointment in person or opt for a remote application. On average, it takes between one and three weeks. In some cities, there are waiting times for appointments, but we do our best to schedule them as quickly as possible.
Yes, in some cases we can submit an expedited application. Please contact us directly for options and availability.
When you attend an in-person appointment, you will often receive your NIE number immediately afterwards. If you apply by proxy, you will receive it digitally as soon as we have fully processed your application.
The costs vary per package. For remote applications, you pay for the entire process, including power of attorney and guidance. For applications where you attend the appointment yourself, the costs are lower. View the current rates on our website or contact us for a customised quote.
When applying remotely, you pay a small fee in the Netherlands or Belgium for the legalisation of the power of attorney (e.g. through a court). In addition, you pay a standard administration fee for the application itself on site in Spain. We will inform you about this in advance.
Payment can be made easily via iDEAL, bank transfer or credit card. After your request, you will receive a clear invoice with all costs and instructions.
At Quicknienumber, we take privacy and data security very seriously. Your personal data will only be used for your request and will never be shared with third parties without your consent. We work with encrypted connections and secure storage.
Yes, applications made by proxy require verification of your identity. This is done securely using an official verification method to prevent abuse.
Upon receipt, you can verify the authenticity of your NIE number with the Spanish authorities or via official websites. We ensure that all steps are carried out in accordance with legal guidelines, so that your number is guaranteed to be valid.
If you have lost the original document, we can help you request a duplicate. This can be done at the authority that issued the original document. You usually do not have to go through the entire application procedure again.
Yes, that is possible. This is one of our most popular options. You arrange everything remotely and we handle the application on your behalf with the Spanish authorities.
Yes, even for a short stay, an NIE number may be mandatory. For example, if you are renting a car for a longer period, buying a property or want to arrange matters with a bank or solicitor.
Yes, it is a personal number that is valid for life. You can use it for all official matters in Spain, such as work, residence, study or starting a business.
