Why a NIE matters for expats in Spain

Overview

What is a NIE and why you need it

The Número de Identificación de Extranjero (NIE) is your unique identification number as a foreigner in Spain. It is essential for almost every legal, financial, and administrative step you take — from renting an apartment and paying taxes to signing a job contract or opening a bank account.
Without a NIE, you cannot move forward with many everyday processes in Spain. Our online service makes it simple: we prepare your application, guide you through requirements, and represent you if needed, so you receive your NIE without stress or confusion.
