If you’re looking for information on how to renew your NIE, the first thing you need to know is that you don’t actually need to renew your NIE, but rather your TIE (Foreigner Identification Card). The NIE is the number that identifies you as a foreigner in Spain, and your NIE is the same number since you first obtained your NIE in Palma de Mallorca.

This is a common confusion among many of our foreign clients as accountants in Palma de Mallorca. Having the support of an office in Palma de Mallorca can be a great advantage. Keeping your legal status up to date is essential for enjoying a smooth stay on the island, and being well-informed about the requirements and necessary documentation for this process is key to avoiding complications.

Documents required for NIE renewal:

1. Application Form: It is essential to fill out and sign the EX15 or EX17 form, depending on your type of residence. Make sure all information is correct before submitting it.
2. Passport: You must include the original passport along with a complete and valid copy, as it is essential for verifying your identity.
3. Recent Passport-size Photograph: A recent photo with a white background that meets the standards set by the competent authorities is required.
4. Current Residence Card: Submit the residence card you wish to renew, both original and copy. If you do not have a card, another valid document that supports your residence must be presented.
5. Payment Fee: It is necessary to have the payment receipt for fee 790 code 012. The cost can fluctuate depending on the type of residence, so it is important to confirm the price at the time of the procedure.
6. Renewal Justification: An official document explaining the reason for your renewal is essential, such as a letter from a notary or a certificate from your employer accrediting your situation.
7. Social Security Number: If you are working in the Balearic Islands, you must provide documentation proving your affiliation or registration with Social Security.
8. Certificate of Registration: If you have changed your address during the validity of your current card, you will need to present an updated certificate that verifies your new address.

Additional Documents Based on Your Situation:

Depending on your personal situation and the type of residence you have, you may need other documents. For students, the following is required:

• Health insurance.
• Proof of economic means.
• University enrollment.
• Transcript of records.

Verification of Requirements According to Your Type of Residence:

It is vital to keep in mind that specific requirements may differ depending on your type of residence and personal situation. Therefore, it is always advisable to check with local authorities or consult with Emprendix to ensure that you have all the necessary documentation, thereby avoiding any delays in the process.
