Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a NIE and a TIE?

The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is your foreign identification number in Spain — it is a number, not a physical card. The TIE (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero) is a physical identity card issued to non-EU residents with a valid residence authorisation. EU citizens get a different certificate (certificado de registro). We confirm which applies to you.

Do I need empadronamiento before getting my NIE or TIE?

Not always — it depends on the procedure and your situation. For some processes empadronamiento must come first; for others it can run in parallel. We map the correct sequence for your specific case.

Which EX form do I need?

The form depends on your specific procedure. Common forms include EX-15 (NIE for non-residents) and EX-17 (TIE). Using the wrong form means your appointment will be rejected. We confirm the correct form for your case before you book anything.
