Frequently asked questions

What happens if I lose my DNI without an appointment?
You must request a prior appointment for loss. If you need to travel urgently, you can try seeking emergency assistance upon arrival with a flight ticket as justification.
Do I always have to bring a new photo even if I had one recently?
Yes, it is mandatory to bring a recent physical photo that will be scanned at the moment of issue.
How do I request an appointment to renew my DNI?
Log in to citapreviadnie.es, select 'DNI/Passport issuance', choose your province and police station, then pick a date and time. If no appointments are available, try back at 08:00 when new slots are released.
