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 (Temporary Identity Card for Foreigners) is the physical document for non-EU foreigners with legal residence. The registration certificate is the equivalent document for EU/EEA citizens.
Can I apply for an NIE without being in Spain?
Yes, in some cases it can be requested at a Spanish Consulate in your home country. However, this can only be done if there is a justified reason (employment contract, property purchase). In most cases, you need to be in Spain.
Why do I need an NIE?
For any economic, labor or legal procedures in Spain: opening a bank account, buying property, signing a work contract, paying taxes, enrolling in university, or applying for social security benefits.
How long is the NIE valid?
The NIE itself is permanent (never expires and never changes). The physical document (TIE or registration certificate) has a validity period that needs to be renewed periodically according to your type of residence.
Can I work in Spain with just the NIE?
The NIE is a requirement, but not the only one. To legally work in Spain you also need a work permit (if non-EU citizen) or the EU registration certificate (if EU/EEA citizen). The NIE only identifies you and does not authorize employment.
