Frequently asked questions

Is the NAF the same as the NIF?
No. The NAF (Social Security Number) is exclusive to Social Security and serves for contributions. The NIF is the fiscal identifier (your ID card or NIE). They are different documents.
When do I need the NAF?
When you start working, if you become self-employed, or when you need to access Social Security benefits.
