Apply for a NIE number How it works

In the province of Málaga you need a NIE before the notary signs the escritura, whether the home is in the city of Málaga, in Torremolinos or in Marbella.

The Policía Nacional for the province of Málaga is in charge, not an office only for the city. Marbella, Fuengirola, Estepona and Nerja are the same application. We have no office in Málaga. The company is based in Xàbia.

Why people need it on the Costa del Sol

  • The notary

    Without a NIE there is no escritura in your name, neither in Málaga nor in Marbella.

  • The bank

    Accounts on the Costa del Sol are opened against the NIE.

  • Day to day in the city

    Electricity, water and the community of owners want the Spanish number, even if you are there only part of the year.

  • One province

    Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Mijas and Ronda do not need a second NIE.
