Duplicate NIE number

Hi can anyone help please?

I have an NIE which I obtained over 30 years ago in Estepona Andalucia, I now have property in Daya Nueva and have been paying my taxes every year via my lawyers in Torrevieja.

They now tell me they have always had a problem with my NIE and now need a dupicate...........with the same number.

Not just a photocopy a new certificate.

Has anyone evr had this problem, if so how did you resolve it?

Any help would be useful.

Hi

As we found out NIE certificates expire, the number doesn’t that stays with you for life.

You need to fill up an EX14 form take this along with your passport and old NIE certificate to a local main police station and you should be able to queue and get the new green certificate the same day (areas differ)

The first clerk will check your papers and then give you a D90 or D95 form, take this to the local bank and pay the 10 Euros, get the receipt and then return to the police station, you may be able to get the new certificate same day or you may be asked to come back another day and collect it.

Remember to take copies with you of all the documents.

You will then be the proud owner of the new green resident of Europe (Spanish Branch) certificate that will have the same number as your original NIE

 yes- had the same problem 2 years ago. had to go to the notary and get a new one there. you will always keep your nie nmber- its like your nat insce number in the uk. you never get a new number.but you need a nie cert with an original stamp. photopies are not accepted in the sale and purchase of houses.

Hello and many thanks for the prompt response

We are non residents, does that make any difference?

Hi Richard

No, makes no difference, just need to fill up the EX14 form acordingly.

You can get the form here
