Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between NIE, TIE and EU registration certificate?
The NIE is a number assigned to any foreigner in Spain. The TIE (Foreigners' Identity Card) is the physical document for non-EU foreigners with legal residence. The registration certificate is the equivalent document for EU/EEA/Swiss citizens.
Can I apply for NIE without being in Spain?
Yes, in some cases it can be requested at a Spanish Consulate in your home country. However, you need to have a justifiable reason (employment contract, property purchase). In most cases, you must be physically present in Spain.
Why do I need the NIE?
For any economic, labor or legal process in Spain: opening a bank account, buying real estate, signing employment contracts, paying taxes, enrolling in university or claiming Social Security benefits.
How long is the NIE valid for?
The NIE itself is permanent (it never expires or changes). The physical document, however, has a validity period and needs to be renewed periodically based on your type of residence permit.
Can I work in Spain with just the NIE?
The NIE is required but not the only one. To legally work in Spain, you also need an employment authorization (if a non-EU foreigner) or the EU registration certificate (if an EU/EEA/Swiss citizen). The NIE only identifies, it does not authorize you to work.
