The Identity Number for Foreigners (NIE)

Foreigners who are in Spain, whether for their economic, social, or professional interests; will be given a unique, personal and exclusive sequential number for identification purposes. Foreign people who need to open a bank account, for example, would benefit from obtaining this document, in case they do not already have a card or document in which their NIE (Identity Number for Foreigners) appears. 

This personal number will be the identification for the foreign person, which must appear in all documents processed for them.

To obtain the ID number, the following documents are required:
