NIE NUMBER
NIE is an abbreviation for Número de identidad de extranjero, which translates as ‘Identification number for foreigners’.
The main purpose of the NIE for Spain is fiscal control. Without a Spanish NIE number, the Spanish tax authorities are unable to assess or process annual tax payments such as income tax (IRPF), and the annual wealth tax (Patrimonio), both of which are paid by non- resident property owners
The NIE number starts with a letter, followed by seven numbers and another letter in the end (example X – 222827– B). Each NIE number is dedicated to one person and it is neither transferable nor does it expire.
You can do it yourself and go to the autorized office in Palma ( you must ask first for an appointment , you can do it online )
