NIE number for Madrid

  • Kein Termin bei der Polizei in Madrid.
  • Keine Reise nach Spanien für den Antrag.
  • Dieselbe NIE gilt in ganz Spanien, nicht nur in Madrid.
Apply for a NIE number How it works

In Madrid you need a NIE for a rental contract, a job, a bank account and often before a notary will complete a purchase.

Appointments at the Policía Nacional in Madrid are scarce. We file the application with a notarised power of attorney and an apostille. You do not fly to Madrid for it. Our office is in Xàbia, not in Madrid.

Start the application in 5 minutes

Why people need it in Madrid

  • A home

    Landlords and banks in the city ask for the NIE, not only a passport.

  • Work

    Many employers want the number before the contract is signed.

  • Studies

    Enrolment and a local account start with the NIE. It is not a residence permit.

  • The surrounding towns

    Pozuelo, Las Rozas, Majadahonda, Alcobendas and Getafe do not need a second number.
