Get your Spanish NIE number in two weeks*:

If you request a white NIE, we will draft a Power of Attorney (POA). It needs to be signed by the applicant with a notary in your country. It is a legalization of signature that you need. In addition, it is essential that a copy of your (European) passport is attached to the power of attorney and that it is apostilled.

We will also need a document that proves why you are applying for the NIE. In case you are going to buy a property, we will need the reservation contract or the “arras” contract. If you want to set up a company in Spain, we will need the documents related to the company or business, if you need the NIE because you have a job offer, we will need a copy of the employment contract.

If you need a NIE for another procedure you can contact us directly and we will assist you.

The Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document through which the client grants us the authority to apply for their foreign identity document on their behalf, directly at the immigration offices. This document specifically authorizes our staff to act in the client’s name solely for the purpose of completing this procedure.

Depending on how long it takes to process the POA with the notary and send it to our offices, and obtaining the appointment with the immigration office, the full process usually takes about 3 weeks. Once we receive the POA from you, usually it takes some days to manage everything. In order not to make false promises, we take a more generous term and indicate approximately 2 weeks.

We can guarantee that from the moment we receive your POA in our office, we can get your NIE in about 2 weeks. The faster you ship the documents, the faster we will proceed. The priority service of our page includes the obtention of the appointment at the foreigners office, in a time record. We have completed the process in 1 day before.

If you apply for a green NIE, once we organize all your folders and documents, the delay from that moment to the NIE appointment is around 10 days as well.

Please note that our fees are 300 euros ex VAT. Once we receive your order, our team we will get in contact with you to open a file and send you the invoice. Notary and apostille fees are not included. (Depending on the country you are in and the notary’s office, this value is  usually around 60 euros).

If you want to apply for a NIF number our fee is 400 euros ex VAT.

If you need a NIE to start doing procedures, and you don’t have all the documents yet, such as an arras contract, you can apply for your NIF number, it is similar to a NIE number, which is a code for doing commercial transactions in Spain.

The NIF number is the code used to identify citizens for tax purposes. It is a mandatory code for both natural and legal persons in any action of a tax nature.

With the NIF you can do all kinds of transactions (open a bank account, buy a property, etc.), but it’s not a residence permit for living legally in Spain. We have many customers that apply for a NIF for buying a property, opening bank accounts in Spain, and organizing everything in advance. Once they move to Spain, we manage the NIE for them.

White NIE number:

It’s a NIE, which allows you – for example – to buy a property or set up a company in Spain. We can obtain this NIE with a Power Of Attorney signed by you plus the proof of why you are requesting the NIE. You will have to send this document to our office in Spain and we will manage everything for you. This will allow you to do procedures in Spain even if you are not in the country yet. Please note that this is not a resident permit, but once you arrive in the country you can change it for the green one.

Green NIE number:

This is a resident permit if your intention is to live and work in this country. For the green NIE you will need to be present in Spain and you will need to do some procedures before the NIE appointment. That’s why we only manage green NIE applications in Barcelona – Because a member of our team will assist with you the day of the appointment due to language reasons and also to check that everything is correct during the NIE appointment. If you need a green NIE for another city, unfortunately, we cannot do this.

Green NIE Application Process

This NIE is also a resident permit and counts from when you are residing in Spain. You will need to be present in Spain to manage this NIE. We can assist you if you need a green NIE but only in Spain, because you will need to manage your “Empadronamiento certificate,” which is a procedure that you have to do as soon as you arrive in the city. This is managed in the townhall of Barcelona. We can assist you to organize the required documents for the “Empadronamiento” but you will have to go to the appointment by yourself (language for this will not be a problem because there’s an English speaking office). After this, we will need a proof – for example, a work contract in Spain or a bank statement where it proves that you have more than 9k in your bank account (This is for proving that you will not ask for social security assistance). Also, you will need a Health insurance with coverage in Spain and no co-payment. Once we organize all your folders we will get you a fast appointment and a member of our staff will go with you.
