Frequently asked questions

Can I renew my passport at the same time?
Yes, you can select 'DNI and Passport' when booking your appointment to do both procedures in one visit.
Do I need to bring my child if they are newborn?
Yes, for any expedient it is mandatory to have the physical presence of the minor along with their parents or legal guardian.
How do I book an appointment to renew my DNI?
Go to citapreviadnie.es, select 'Expedition of DNI/Passport', choose province and police station, and pick a date and time. If no appointments are available, try logging in at 08:00 h, when new slots become available.
Is the DNI delivered immediately?
Yes. The new DNI 4.0 is issued on the same day, usually within 15-20 minutes. There's no need to return another day to collect it.

How much does it cost to renew my DNI in 2026?
The fee is €12 (model 790-012). It's free for first-time applicants under 14, theft or loss with a prior report, error by the administration, or if you're part of an exceptional large family.
