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 my DNI in 2026?
The current fee is €12.00 (Tasa 790-012). The first issue is free for minors under 14 years old and the renewal after robbery or loss reported.
What happens if my DNI has been expired for a while?
There is no penalty for having an expired DNI in a civil context. The procedure and cost are the same, but it's not valid for international travel.
How long does it take to receive the new DNI?
The DNI 4.0 is delivered immediately at the end of the appointment, usually in 15-20 minutes. No need to return another day. If there's a technical issue, they will notify you and schedule another appointment.
Can a minor renew their DNI?
Yes, but must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or legal tutor who should present their own DNI.
How do I request an appointment to renew my DNI?
Go to citapreviadnie.es, select 'DNI/Passport Issue', choose province and police station, and pick a date and time. If no appointments are available, try logging in at 08:00 h when new slots open up.
Is the DNI delivered immediately?
Yes. The new DNI 4.0 is issued on the same day of the appointment, usually within 15-20 minutes. No need to return another day for collection.
When does a 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 my DNI before it expires?

What should I do if I have lost or stolen my DNI?
You must report the loss or theft (in any police station or via Sede Electrónica de la Policía). With the case number, request an appointment on citapreviadnie.es. In this case, Tasa 790-012 is exempt.
