How to get my NIE number
Spain’s NIE number is the personal and unique tax identification number that is required for foreigners for their legal and tax formalities in Spain. The Spanish number acts as a tax and identification number, and is necessary for all financial transactions that involve the Spanish tax office.
For example, to buy a property you only need the NIE number. You do not need to be a resident or European citizen to make the purchase.
The NIE number, in essence, is only the identification number. It is obtained through a procedure before the Spanish Immigration Office. It does not imply any right, although there are procedures such as obtaining the Certificate of Union Citizen by which you also obtain the NIE number.
To have a NIE number is mandatory for all foreigners for their financial, professional or administrative relations in Spain. Children will also need it, for example, to access social security.
