Frequently asked questions

Can I renew my DNI without an appointment?
No. Since 2020, an appointment is mandatory in all offices across Spain.
How much does it cost to renew the DNI in 2026?
The current fee is €12.00 (payment 790-012). First-time issuance for minors under 14 years old and renewal due to loss or theft are exempt.
What happens if my DNI has been expired for a long time?
There is no penalty for having an expired DNI in the civil realm. The procedure and cost remain the same, but it's not valid for travel abroad.
How long does it take to receive the new DNI?
The new DNI 4.0 is delivered on-site within 15-20 minutes of your appointment. No need to return another day. If there's a technical issue, they will inform you and give you another appointment.
Can a minor renew their DNI?
Yes, but must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or legal custodian who must present their own DNI.
How do I request an appointment to renew my DNI?
Go to citapreviadnie.es, select 'DNI/Passport Issuance', choose province and police station, and pick date and time. If no appointments are available, try logging in at 08:00 AM when new slots become available.

Can I renew my DNI before it expires?

What should I do if I have lost my DNI or had it stolen?
You must report the loss or theft to any police station or through the Police National Electronic Office first. With the reference number, request an appointment on citapreviadnie.es. In this case, payment 790-012 is exempt.
