Application for a NIE (Foreigner Identity Number) for non-residents

Application for a NIE (Foreigner Identity Number) for non-residents is filed with Comisaría del CNP / Consulado de España. With Managora you do it 100% online: you answer a few questions, sign a digital mandato (power of representation) and we draft, sign and file your application for you. What we charge you: €210. Official tasa (government fee): The official fee (Modelo 790-012 tasa (Policía Nacional), item 5.12, 9,84 €) is not included in the price and you pay it yourself: the police station only accepts the form stamped by the bank in the applicant's own name, so we cannot pay it for you. We prepare the form filled in and you pay it at any branch before your appointment, with no need to hold an account there. If the application is filed at a Spanish consulate abroad, the fee is paid there, in the currency and in the way that consulate indicates.

We draft the NIE application for foreign nationals who are NOT resident in Spain but have economic, professional or social interests here (LO 4/2000 art. 4 + RD 1155/2024 art. 205). You need it to buy or sell property, open a bank account, deal with an inheritance, set up utility contracts, incorporate a company, and so on. We justify the qualifying reason and, if someone is acting for you, we check that the specific notarial power of attorney is apostilled.
