Frequently asked questions

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?

What should I do if I have lost or stolen my DNI?
