Torre del mar for nie

Postby Manchesteral » Mon Oct 21, 2019 12:39 pm

This info is available somewhere here but I'm unable to locate it, help please ! I hae lost my old N I E and will apply for a new one.
Am I correct in the belief that I need to go to Torre del mar police station to apply and if so what do I need to take with me, photograph, passport, anything else ? thanks in advance, Al.

How can you loose your NIE?
It is just a number that you should find printed on variuos documents.
I don't think I have the original bit of paper that showed my NIE number when I got it before moving to Spain.

You mean you have lost the certificate? I would go to the issuing police station 1st as they should have your details to issue a duplicate. I have only ever shown mine once in 17 years so if you know the number you may just need to make sure you don't lose that. Its on your water bill etc.

Thanks for the replies. unfortunately they don't answer my questions :-) I have never needed to produce my NIE, I have never received any bills as I always rent all inclusive. The original (white, A 4 paper) has been lost in some small recess in my house and I am unable to locate it. This was issued to me 26 years ago and will have a now defunct passport number on it !

It was actually a policeman who suggested I just apply for a new one :-) Any further thoughts ?

My understanding is an NIE is for life. Someone on a higher pay level than me will probably know the legal process to get a copy of your old nie.

This is perhaps only my opinion/ thoughts on your situation.
The NIE number is unique and for life.
If you know your NIE number then they might, with evidence from your current passport that you are really you, issue you with a new document.
If you can't remember your NIE number but can remember your passport number, I know that it will be unlikely, and again with your current passport, issue you with a new document.
If neither of the above apply then all I can see them able to do is issue you with a new NIE number that will require the documentation as linked to in elusive's reply as seen above.
Cheers

Try looking at .gov.uk to see if there is any advice. If not contact the British consulate for advice. if this is no good contact the Spanish consulate for latest advice

Cant see the .GOV site have anything. Why would they Maureen? Spanish embassy may give advice in London.

I think there are times when the original certificate is required. When I sold a car and went to Traffico with the buyer I was asked for the stamped A4 sheet. If not anyone could just make up a number (something I did once or twice especially on websites.)

The link given for appointments requires a número de soporte which can only be found on a green sheet or card. It is probably easier to use this one:

https://sede.administracionespublicas.gob.es/icpplus/

If you are British you must select the option:

POLICIA-CERTIFICADOS UE (EXCULSIVAMENTE PARA REINO UNIDO)

If you give the same name, date and place of birth and parents names the system will access your original NIE application and they will issue you with a form showing your original number.
