Get Your NIE Number and TIE in Costa Blanca
Spain’s NIE number is the personal and unique tax identification number that is used to track all financial and legal activities in Spain. The Spanish number acts as a tax and identification number, and is used in all fiscal transactions that involve the Spanish tax office.
A NIE number is mandatory for all foreigners with financial, professional or social affairs in Spain, regardless of whether they are a resident or non-resident in Spain. Children also need a NIE number in order to, among other things, get social security.
European citizens typically need to apply for a NIE number after three months of residence in Spain, while non-EU citizens will typically receive their application along with their Spanish residency. Official residents in Spain will also typically need to register on el padron. Spain’s population register.
This guide explains what a NIE number is, the application process, where to find application forms, and finding the right contact number.
If you are planning come to in Spain, you will need a NIE or a TIE. The process of getting one, however, can be confusing and frustrating especially if it’s your first time doing it and you don’t speak any Spanish. In this detailed blog post, we will breakdown what a NIE/TIE is and how to get one.
A TIE (tarjeta de identidad de extranjero) is a card (see below) that has your picture, NIE number, address and where you work/study. If you are a non-EU citizen, you have to apply for a TIE. This process is much more complicated since you need to register yourself at the city hall (empadronarse) to receive your padrón. Once you have done that, you are required to get an appointment at an immigration office which can be a headache.
Depending on which police station you are willing to go to or which city you are in, the nearest appointment you can get might be up to a month later. We recommend applying for an appointment once you arrive to Spain.
Our Process
First of all, we require all the information about our clients.
We analyze the possible inconveniences that the administration can put in order that our client obtains his NIE.
In the search for solutions, at CLF we try to simplify and anticipate the processes so that our client obtains his NIE as soon as possible.

Three matters resolved in just over a week. Alfonso Soler grasps the problem instantly, provides excellent honest advice and guidance. Not everyday one finds a great Lawyer.
I wish to thank wholeheartedly for the attention it has given me. The court's decision against me was positively satisfying. I owe it only because of CFL's professionalism. Not speaking Spanish I was having serious worries. But I must admit, thanks to the perfect follow-up of the file by my lawyer with a return in Spanish, in English easy to understand and also in French: no detail escaped them. thank you very much.
I heard about them through a mutual friend, and I’m so glad I ended up working with them. Very focused and determined about their work. They won’t let you down, they get work done.
The attention and how they have behaved with me has been excellent and they have solved my problem fast and effective.
Alfonso at Coast Law Firm is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly.
Alfonso had handled my inheritance for me and done everything to our complete satisfaction and in a short time professionally. Recommended top lawyer.
Highly recommended. I want to thank Alfonso and his team for such a great job and efforts. I will definitely come back to him if needed in future!
It's very difficult to find a lawyer here in Spain that is a dedicated professional that speaks fluent English, but with Alfonso this is not an issue. A good friend recommended him to deal with a very complex property case. His dedication and preseverance achieved us the best outcome. I Definitely would recommend him to fellow Expats living here in Spain.
Alfonso Soler dealt with a criminal case for me involving various court visits, a trial, and appeals over a period of years (I was not the criminal!). Thanks to his skill and professionalism, the case eventually resolved in my favour. I am very satisfied with Alfonso services and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for legal services in the area.

Always attentive and available, he has effectively solved any doubts or problems that may arise. You know at all times that you can count on him. Thanks, Alfonso, we will continue counting on your services.
A trusted lawyer. Seriousness, professionalism, close and human treatment, availability and efficiency. It gives a lot of tranquility to have professionals like Alfonso before any problem that may arise.
Everything went well, very professional help. I liked that the company has its own Russian translator, it makes communication very easy. Unlike many other firms, the lawyer here informed us when something was changing or step by step what to do. In Spain you rarely see compulsion and punctuality. Thank you for your help!
I required Mr.Soler services in order to solve inheritance and real estate issues with the Spanish authorities. From my experience within the firm I can confirm that the service was excellent and extremely technical with a very pragmatic approach and attention to detail. As a former lawyer I truly recommend Mr. Soler as he is highly knowledgeable and client oriented.
For a good definition Professionalism, attention, clarity and ease in cases. Really a 10 at the time I needed it most. Thank you.
Absolutely Fantastic services and they make you feel like family.
Very efficient, professional & fast services. Highly recommended.
Alfonso is a friendly lawyer dynamics who accompanied us very much in our steps and purchase. He was on holiday but he came to do all our papers because we went back to France and it was urgent to block the sale.
We bought a house in Oliva and not knowing what to do, we contacted Alfonso. He made all the transactions for us until the final act of sale at the notary. We are delighted with his performance. We strongly recommend that you contact him. Thanks again for everything Alfonso.

The NIE number is the legal number assigned by the Spanish National Police to foreign residents who don’t have Spanish citizenship, so that they can carry out legal activities in Spain such as those mentioned below.
NIE aplicattion.
NIE applications can be submitted while living or visiting Spain to the relevant Spanish National Police station dedicated to foreign documentation. You can also apply for a NIE number at the Spanish embassy located in your country.
In Spain, the NIE number can be requested either by you or via an authorised figure (lawyers, solicitors, relatives, or friends) holding a Spanish power of attorney. The processes may differ slightly depending on the region.
