An NIE is
assigned by the General Commissariat for Immigration and Borders, which reports
to the Spanish Directorate-General for Police. The consular office is unable to
speed up the document processing time. The NIE is normally provided in three
weeks, however, this time frame may be prolonged due to events beyond the administration's
control. The NIE is sent to the applicant through email. Therefore, an email
address is needed on the application form for notification purposes.
