Hi

We got our nie numbers back in 2007, mine in my maiden name. However lost them and cant the life of me think where they are.

Do i just go back to Malaga and register again or will they have dulpicates.

Thanks xx

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

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".

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.

The plastic cards were residenca cards not NIE's, the NIE's were A4 before, but yes you are right its a combined A4 certificate now for both

Oh, I'd always assumed it was the NIE. The more you know.

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.

I guess you'll just get an NIE cert. We had an NIE and when we applied for the foreigners certificate (residencia as its generally called) it was combined with our NIE. If you aren't applying for the foreigners cert though, I guess you just get an NIE

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

You just apply for the NIE, or get your lawyer to do it for you. You can either JUST get the NIE or get BOTH via the residencia.

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

Yes, as I mentioned elsewhere, on a daily basis I have never been asked for my passport as ID. In the tax office, yes, but not generally out and about.

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.

It is no longer an offence not to carry ID.

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!
