Frequently asked questions

Can I renew my DNI without an appointment?
No. Since 2020, appointments are mandatory for any DNI renewal at all offices in Spain. There is no option to visit without a booking.
How much does it cost to renew the DNI in 2026?
The current fee is €12.00 (790-012). This price applies for both first issue and renewal. The first issue is exempt for minors under 14 years old, and renewal due to theft or loss with a valid report.
What happens if my DNI has been expired for years?
There is no penalty or additional charge for having an expired DNI in civil matters. The process and cost are the same as usual. However, an expired DNI is not valid for international travel (except some EU countries with specific agreements).
How long does it take to receive my new DNI?
Typically 5-7 business days from your appointment date. In peak seasons (summer, Christmas), it may take up to 10-12 days. You'll get a SMS when it's ready if you provided a phone number.
Can a minor renew their DNI?
Yes, but they must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or tutor who will need to present their own DNI. The first issue is exempt from fee for minors under 14 years old.
Do I need my old DNI if it's lost?
If you've lost your DNI, report the loss or theft at a police station before renewing. In this case, the fee may be exempt with proof of reported theft.
How do I book an appointment to renew my DNI?
Go to citapreviadnie.es, select 'DNI/Passport Issuance', choose province and police station, and pick your date and time. If there's no availability, try connecting at 08:00 when new slots are released.
Is the DNI issued immediately?
Yes. The new DNI 4.0 is delivered on the same day of the appointment, usually in 15-20 minutes. There's no need to return another time for collection.
When does the DNI expire?
The validity depends on your age at renewal: under 5 years → 2 years; 5 to 29 years → 5 years; 30 to 69 years → 10 years; 70 years or more → permanent (indefinite).
Can I renew my DNI before it expires?
Yes. You can apply when there's less than one year left until expiration, although many stations process earlier. There's no penalty for renewing in advance.
What should I do if I've lost or had my DNI stolen?
Report the loss or theft at a police station first (in any police office or through the National Police Electronic Office). With the report number, book an appointment on citapreviadnie.es. In this case, the 790-012 fee is exempt.
