How to get Nie's Number UK
According to
Spanish law, a Nie
number UK is necessary to open a bank account, arrange a loan or
mortgage, get a job, receive social assistance or unemployment benefits,
register with social services, get a driver's license, or inherit property. The
NIE number is a tax identification number, just like the NI National Insurance
number in the UK and the NIF Numero de Identificación Fiscal for Spanish
citizens. NIE numbers are issued by the National Police of Spain, the same
agency that creates Spanish passports and ID cards.
How to make
an NIE number request
You can
personally apply for an NIE number at the Spanish Consulate and assemble the
necessary documents, including two copies of the completed NIE application
form. The consulate agent will authenticate your signature with a stamp along
with the relevant fee and will require you to sign the document there rather
than previously. We advise you to check the criteria with the consulate ahead
of time. The application will be sent to Spain by the Consulate as a messenger,
and you will need to wait until the Spanish government returns it to you.
You can also
apply in person for an NIE number when you visit the National Police station in
Spain with the necessary paperwork and the needed fee. However, you can utilize
a Power of Attorney to request an NIE number if you need help. If you need to
apply for your NIE number from England, there is a very simple form, which can
make a Power of Attorney that you must sign in front of a local notary. After
the paperwork has been signed and legalized, we will provide it to the agent in
Spain. Unless otherwise specified, the agent will return the original NIE
document to you and a scanned copy to us within ten days of receipt.
