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 (tasa 790-012). The first issuance for minors under 14 years of age and renewal due to theft or loss reported are exempt.
What happens if my DNI has been expired for many years?
There is no penalty for having an expired DNI in civil terms. 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 issued on the spot at the end of your appointment, within 15-20 minutes. You do not have to return another day. If there are technical issues preventing immediate issuance, they will notify you and reschedule the appointment.
Can a minor renew their DNI?
Yes, but they must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or legal custodian who should present their own DNI.
How do I request an appointment to renew my DNI?
Log in at citapreviadnie.es, select 'DNI/Passport Issuance', choose the province and police station, and pick a date and time. If no appointments are available, try connecting at 08:00 when new slots open.
Is the DNI delivered immediately?
Yes. Your new DNI 4.0 is issued on the spot within 15-20 minutes of your appointment, with no need to return another day.
When does my DNI expire?
The validity period depends on age at renewal: under 5 years → 2 years; ages 5-29 → 5 years; ages 30-69 → 10 years; 70 or older → permanent (indefinite).
Can I renew my DNI before it expires?
Yes. You can request renewal when there is less than one year left until expiration, even though many stations process it earlier. There is no penalty for renewing in advance.
What should I do if I have lost or had my DNI stolen?
Report the loss or theft of your DNI at any police station or through the National Police Online Portal (Sede Electrónica). With the report number, request an appointment on citapreviadnie.es. In this case, the tasa 790-012 is waived.
