Frequently asked questions

Can I renew my 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 €12.00 (Tasa 790-012). The first issue for minors under 14 years old and renewal due to robbery or loss are exempt.
What happens 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 remain the same, but it cannot be used for international travel.
How long does it take to receive the new DNI?
The DNI 4.0 is delivered immediately at the end of your appointment, usually in 15-20 minutes. There's no need to return another day. If there are any technical issues, they will inform you and reschedule an appointment.
Can a minor renew their DNI?
Yes, but they must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or legal tutor who should bring their own DNI as well.
How do I book an appointment to renew my DNI?
Go to citapreviadnie.es, select 'DNI/Pasaporte Issuance', choose province and police station, then pick date and time. If there are no appointments available, try logging in at 08:00 h when new slots become available.
Is the DNI delivered immediately?
Yes. The new DNI 4.0 is issued on the same day, usually within 15-20 minutes. There's no need to return another day to collect it.
When does a DNI expire?
The 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 → indefinite (permanent).
Can I renew my DNI before it expires?
Yes. You can apply when there is less than a year until expiration, though many stations process applications even earlier. There's no penalty for renewing in advance.
What should I do if I have lost or had my DNI stolen?
You must report the loss or theft first (in any police station or via the National Police Sede Electrónica). With the case number, book an appointment at citapreviadnie.es. In this case, the 790-012 fee is waived.
