N.I.E number cards
Hi,
Is it possible to obtain an n.i.e card? similar size to a credit card to fit in your wallet? rather than carrying the original sheet around.

No I dont believe so now .... the residencia used to be a card but now you get a combined NIE / Residencia A4 sheet!

we did mr FB's not that long ago and he got the A4 sheet thing too, they dont do the cards anymore. Btu he just uses his driving licence when he pays in shops etc.

Id' be happy to pay to have the old style ID card if that was a possibility. They still issue them to non-UE people so surely it couldn't be THAT difficult to give one to a UE person if they really, really wanted one.

Only a card with picture on is acceptable, so you need a laminated credit size copy of your passport, or your DL. Please note, most banks and carrefour will NOT accept the resized passport copy, they need the real thing.

It's a real pain having that piece of A4 crap AND a passport in my bag at all times.

I have a blue credit card size card showing my name and NIE number. They were issued for a year or so in the early 1990s.

Re: N.I.E number cards
My daughter has just got married and changed all her bank cards into her married name but all her ID passport and driving licence is in her maiden name. Obviously it will take a while to get these changed plus the cost. Any ideas?

Hi Beachcomber,
We had a friend with a card like yours - we went to officialdom to change his driving licence and hands were held up in horror and he now has one of those horrible A4 paper thingy's

For the driving licence if she wants to keep the UK one she has to have a UK address. She would have to apply as a UK resident either on line or via the post office (form). A warning though, online they take your telephone number as they say they do security checks

It happened to our daughter, they wouldn`t let her or even her husband pick it up and sent it back to Madrid.
Stupid thing is they resent it to where my wife worked and left it with no ID being shown.
