Frequently asked questions

Can I renew my DNI without an appointment?
No. Since 2020, appointments are mandatory in all Spanish offices.
How much does it cost to renew the DNI in 2026?
The current fee is €12 (790-012). First-time issuance for minors under 14 years old and renewal after a reported loss or theft are free.
What happens if my DNI has been expired for years?
There is no penalty for having an expired DNI in the civil context. The process and cost remain the same, but it will not be valid for international travel.
How long does it take to receive the new DNI?
The DNI 4.0 is delivered on hand at the end of the appointment, within 15-20 minutes. You do not have to return another day for collection. If there are any technical issues, they will notify you immediately and arrange a new appointment.
Can a minor renew their DNI?

How do I book an appointment to renew my DNI?
Visit citapreviadnie.es, select 'DNI/Pasaporte Issuance', choose province and police station, then pick date and time. If there are no appointments available, try connecting at 08:00 AM when new slots become available.

Can I renew my DNI before it expires?
Yes. You can request renewal when there is less than a year until expiration, even if many stations process earlier. There is no penalty for renewing early.
What should I do if I have lost my DNI or had it stolen?
You must file a loss report (in any police station or through the National Police Sede Electrónica). With the report number, request an appointment on citapreviadnie.es. In this case, the 790-012 fee is waived.
