Social Security Number - is it forever ?
Hello all, Looking for some info. I have lived in Seville from 2009 to 2013, during that time I was working through Randstad. Paying taxes etc. I already had a Spanish NIE number, The Paper version Not plastic card. The Social Security number on my payslips was in this form 00/00000000/00 i.e. all numbers. I will move to Barcelona later this year & was wondering if anyone knows is this Social Security number still valid or would I have to reapply for another.
Thanks to all for any info

Yes, despite the fact that the number (I think) includes a code for the city you first register, it is transferable and permanent.
I got mine in Málaga years ago and it was valid in Madrid.

It’s the same in the UK. Your NI number is for life.

Same here for me in Spain. I found out that my NIE was being used by someone else and that he was receiving tax documents about me :angry:
