Re: Nie
We lost our certificates and just went back to the Police station and got duplicates, no charge. It will help if you have the numbers, but I would caution against registering again if you can help it

You should be able to go to wherever you got your NIE from and get a replacement filling in the right forms (I don't know which); they literally print off the sheet of paper there and then.

If you had the nice plastic credit card-sized NIEs you'll be ecstatic (not really) to find out they no longer give those out and instead print off an A4 sheet of paper. This A4 sheet of paper is now your "NIE" even though it states clearly that "This document is not valid for proving the identity of the holder".

Re: Nie
So what if you are applying for an NIE but remaining non resident? ie needing NIE to purchase a property but not moving over full time.

Re: Nie
Its a different application form anyway, EX14 & EX 16 I think

What you can't have is a residencia without an NIE.

Re: Nie
Yes there are 2 forms - Ex 14 and EX 16, NIE and Residencia. Just surprised they have combined it as the residencia is all part of an EU process whereas NIE is Spanish taxation.
I have been successfully using my Spanish driving licence as ID since my residence card was stolen. (Although I have got the cert.)

Re: Nie
Me neither and I have never carried it around in 10 yrs of living here - only if I am going to the notary or somewhere official.

Re: Nie
As far as I know it is an offence not to carry it, the foreign office strongly advice anyone in a foreign country to carry it as it is the only legal ID Brits have.

Re: Nie
You are obliged to prove your identity if asked and having your passport or other ID will help but it is not compulsory.
You might have to wait in the cells for your OH to bring it though!
