Frequently asked questions

Can I renew the DNI without an appointment?
No. Since 2020, appointments are mandatory in all offices across Spain.
How much does it cost to renew the DNI in 2026?
The current fee is €12 (790-012). The first issue for minors under 14 years old and renewal after theft or loss are exempt.
What if my DNI has been expired for many years?
There is no penalty for having an expired DNI in a civil context. The procedure and cost are the same, but it is not valid for travel abroad.
How long does it take to receive the new DNI?
The DNI 4.0 is issued immediately upon completion of your appointment, within 15-20 minutes. You do not have to return another day. If there are technical issues, they will inform you and arrange a new appointment.
Can a minor renew the DNI?
Yes, but must be accompanied by their parent, guardian or legal tutor, who should present their own DNI.
How do I request an appointment to renew the DNI?
Log in to citapreviadnie.es, select 'DNI Issue', choose province and police station, and pick a date and time. If no appointments are available, try logging in at 08:00 when new slots become available.
Is the DNI delivered immediately?
Yes. The new DNI 4.0 is issued on the same day, typically within 15-20 minutes. You do not need to return another day to collect it.
When does the DNI expire?
Validity depends on age at renewal: under 5 years → 2 years; 5 to 29 years → 5 years; 30 to 69 years → 10 years; 70 years or older → permanent (indefinite).
Can I renew the DNI before it expires?
Yes. You can apply when there is less than a year left until expiry, although many stations process applications earlier. There is no penalty for renewing in advance.
What should I do if I have lost my DNI or had it stolen?
You must file an initial report on loss or theft (at any police station or through the National Police Electronic Office). With the report number, request an appointment at citapreviadnie.es. In this case, the 790-012 fee is exempt.
