The process is as follows: 1) Prepare the necessary documentation:

  • EU nationals: Your passport and a photocopy of the main page of your passport (the page that includes your photo, name, passport number, address, etc. Non-EU nationals: Your passport and a photocopy of your entire passport.
  • 2 copies of the appropriate application form duly completed but NOT SIGNED as you will need to sign in the presence of a consular official. The Spanish consulate will not be able to provide you with this form so you must obtain it beforehand. I strongly recommend you ring the consulate beforehand to check the latest situation as the procedures do change and these instructions may already be out of date.
  • In the UK it appears you now have to pay a fee of £8. 05 in fees (December 2016), so make sure you have the means on you to pay this small sum. (For a while there was no fee to pay, and before that there was a fee of £22 so it keeps changing, for which reason always best to ring or check the Embassy website in advance for the latest requirements).
  • You might also have to produce an original document (plus a photocopy) that justifies your reason for applying for an NIE number. This documentation might not be necessary, but best have it with you just in case. If you don’t have it, then don’t worry too much, as both London and Manchester consulates say they don’t require it.
