Hello. I am sure the answer is on the forum but if I search for NIE, I get so many results.
Can anyone tell me how I can sort an NIE out for my stepson without having to pay someone to do it for us? He is going to work here for a few months so needs one.

When my husband and I arrived 2 months ago, we paid someone to take us to Elche. We were in there for 20 minutes. The police officer was very offhand to both us and our representative and after lots of huffing we were duly given a print out. This unpleasant experience cost more than I thought it was worth.

The definitive guide on how you get an NIE would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You will have to make an appointment or you could turn up and not get seen personaly if you dont speak Spanish I would pay the 50 euros they will make the appointment and sort it for you it can be done in Torrevieja.

I dare say it is not too difficult if everything goes smoothly, but..

When we got our NIE we came out of the office and looked at the form... they had put the wrong address on it.. we went back in and they said they could not alter the forms there... so we had to go to the Treasury office on the other side of town to change the address...

Even with a translator things can go wrong, but I would have been totally out of my depth if I had tried to do it on my own...

you make your own choices...but I would spend some euros and get an expert..

Ours were arranged by our solicitor when buying our house se. She arranged it all and dealt with the officials, all we had to do was nod and smile and sign
