FAQ

What’s a NIE?
The NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero - Foreigner Identity Number) is a unique, personal identification number assigned to foreigners who need identification in Spain due to economic, professional, or social activities related to the country.
What is the Power of Attorney, and do I need a notary?
No notary visit needed. You sign your Power of Attorney 100% online in a few seconds. This standard legal document authorizes AnchorLess to request your NIE from the Spanish authorities on your behalf, and for your NIE application only. No printing, no in-person notary, no travel to Spain.
What is the difference between the white NIE and the green NIE?
We provide the white NIE (the non-resident NIE). It is the document that assigns you your NIE number, your personal identification number as a foreigner in Spain. You use it to buy property, open a bank account, sign contracts, work, or pay taxes. It does not prove that you live in Spain, and it does not expire.
The green NIE (residency) is a different document, and a different process done in person in Spain, for EU citizens who register as residents. Non-EU residents instead receive a physical residency card called the TIE.
If you simply need your NIE number, the white NIE is what you need, and that is exactly what we deliver.
How long will it take to get my NIE?
The process of obtaining your NIE involves a timeframe that generally spans between 2 and 5 working days from the moment you submitted all of your documents.
Does the NIE have an expiry date?
No, the NIE, as a unique identification number, is valid for life.
What are the documents I need to provide?
To initiate the process, we simply require proof of identity, such as a passport or, for European citizens, an ID card.
Upon submission of the initial documentation and information, a power of attorney will be automatically generated for you.
You’ll need to sign it and have it notarized. Then, obtain an apostille for the power of attorney at any court or notary.
To do so you have two options:
-
You can use an online notary to obtain this document. You can complete this procedure entirely online via notarity. You can obtain their services here. Check this guide to navigate the process.With this option, you can conveniently upload your digital document directly through our form.\
-
Legalize the POA at any local notary, and then obtain the apostille in your country.With this option you will have to mail the original, apostilled, document to our lawyer’s office in Spain.
Do I need to be in Spain myself?
No, we take care of the entire process for you. We will book and attend the appointment in Spain on your behalf to apply for your NIE number, so you don’t need to be in the country!
Do I need a Spanish address?
You don’t need a Spanish address to apply for a NIE number.
What is an apostille?
An apostille is a certification that authenticates public documents issued in one country so they are recognized in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. It simplifies the process of verifying documents from ministries, courts, registry offices, notaries, public schools, and local government offices by confirming their authenticity without additional legalization steps.
How can I verify my NIE’s authenticity?
We will provide you with a scanned copy of the document containing your NIE number and a unique ‘CSV’ code. By entering this code on the official Spanish police website, you can download the original document with your NIE number.
This process verifies the document’s authenticity automatically.
You can do it from here: https://sede.policia.gob.es/sede/pages/publico/verifica.xhtml
