Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between NIE, TIE and EU registration certificate?
NIE is the identification number assigned to any foreigner in Spain. The TIE (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero) is a physical document for non-EU foreigners with legal residence. The registration certificate is equivalent documentation for EU/EEE citizens.
Can I request NIE from outside of Spain?
Yes, in some cases you can apply at the Spanish Consulate abroad if there is a justified reason (employment contract, property purchase). In most cases, you need to be physically present in Spain.
Why do I need NIE?
For any economic, professional or legal transactions in Spain: opening a bank account, purchasing real estate, signing employment contracts, paying taxes, enrolling at university, or applying for Social Security benefits.
How long is the NIE valid?
The NIE itself is permanent (never expires and does not change). The physical document, however, may need periodic renewal according to your type of residence.
Can I work in Spain with just the NIE?
NIE is a requirement but not the only one. To legally work you also need a work permit (for non-EU citizens) or an EU registration certificate (for EU/EEE citizens). The NIE identifies, but does not authorize employment.
