Frequently asked questions

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