NIF number Set up an S.L. FAQ

A company needs different numbers from a personal NIE. Which one depends on whether the company already exists abroad, will be formed in Spain, or you are registering as self-employed.

The NIF for an existing foreign company, and registering an existing NIE with the tax agency, go through our NIF application. A Spanish S.L. starts with a free conversation. The offer comes after that. Autónomo registration and the bookkeeping are handled by our tax partner. The personal NIE of the person who signs is a separate application by power of attorney.

Which path fits

  • NIF

    For a foreign company that buys, rents out or invoices in Spain.

  • Autónomo

    For one person. Registration and ongoing tax through the tax partner.

  • Personal NIE

    Anyone who signs in Spain usually also needs their own NIE.
