I got my NIE back in 2009 when I was living in Madrid. I was always under the impression that it did not expire. Have I got that wrong? When I log onto my Sabadell banking app, I get a warning to say I need to renew my NIE. Is that correct? The one I do have is green, A4 sized, with the address I was living in at the time. For information, I do not reside in Spain. I am a UK resident. Thanks for all your replies.

The requirement from Sabadell, or any non resident Spanish bank account, is to confirm that you're still a UK tax payer. They usually let the AEAT know this every couple of years and charge you for this.

Something seems to be wrong here. Just your NIE comes on a white A4 sheet of paper. The green one (some call it a CUE) is for residents but shows your NIE as well.
Sabadell are asking for proof that you are still resident, they do this from time to time. In your case, your CUE has expired (I suspect) so you need to confirm with Sabadell that your account is a non-resident one.

^^^ Thanks for the posts folks. Now I am really confused. I have not lived in Spain since 2009/2010 when I spent a year teaching English in Madrid. Anyhow, here is the top of the form. Bottom half has my name, name of my late (beloved parents
) and the address I was living at when I got the document. Any how I have attached the top part here without any personal details. Any advice would be gratefully rec'd.

I'm going to assume your account is a resident's account as that's what you would have opened when resident in Spain.
You could try uploading a scan of the certificate and your passport, but they could insist on a TIE which could cause problems.
Or you could say you're not resident any more and switch to a non-resident's account if they allow it. Then they may ask you for a certificate of non-residency...

The issue is not what you think. The message you received is a machine translation from Spanish. If you check your notifications or messages from the bank you will find that it is a request from the bank that you ratify your details - in this case your NIE- which the bank then sends to the Spanish authorities. It is part of their control on money laundering.This happens every now and then. It will tell you you need to contact the bank ( usually in person) by a specific date or the account will be blocked. The word expiry is wrongly used because the system is unable to succinctly generate the appropriate one word message in English

As I said this very much sounds like a routine check by the bank for FATCA which is sent to AEAT. The OP should have correspondence on their banking App alerting them to this and it is showing up as a translation issue as expired NIE. The basis of the thing is to confirm if the OP is still a resident. Clearly they haven't changed their account to non resident and a period of time has passed and the check has been requested. It is highly unlikely that any of this can be done over the phone as it probably requires you to go to your branch and present passport etc ( although a phone call is the first port of call). If the OP doesn't do it the account will be blocked.

If you are UK resident then do you actually need a Spanish bank A/C?
Even if you own property you don't necessarily need a Spanish bank A/C to pay your bills with, some of the online banks (N26, Revolut) offer Spanish IBAN's and you'll get none of the nonsense you're getting from Sabadell with them!
