NIE number for Valencia

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

Valencia is not the Costa Blanca. If you live, study or work in the city, you need a NIE for the rental contract, a bank account and often before your first day at work.

Cita previa slots at the Policía Nacional in Valencia are scarce. We apply with a power of attorney so you do not have to find the appointment yourself. Gandia, Sagunt and Cullera use the same application.

What the NIE is used for in Valencia

  • A flat in the city

    Landlords and banks in Valencia ask for a NIE, not just a passport copy.

  • Work

    Many employers want the number before the contract is signed.

  • Studies

    Enrolment and a local account need a NIE. It is not a residence permit.

  • The province, not only the city

    Gandia, Cullera, Sagunt and Xàtiva do not require a second number.

Valencia city and province

One application covers the city and the province of Valencia. Alicante and the Costa Blanca are a different province, but the same NIE is valid there too.

Common questions about the NIE in Valencia

No. It is the identification number for foreigners. If you live in Valencia longer, you may later need EU registration or a TIE, depending on your nationality. The NIE is the first step.

No. A power of attorney and an apostille are enough. We go to the authority for you.

Yes. Many people apply before they take the keys in Valencia or sign a work contract.

No. The form, the power of attorney and the certificate are the same. The reason is different: city, work and studies, not only a holiday home.
