TIE

TIE

Spanish ID card for non-EU nationals

?
The Foreigner Identity Card (TIE) is a mandatory document for non-EU nationals authorized to reside in Spain for more than six months. It serves as proof of legal residency and includes personal details, a photograph, and the Foreigner Identity Number (NIE). Applicants must schedule an appointment with the Spanish gov. office to provide necessary documentation and fingerprints.
Padrón

Padrón

Registration of your address with city hall

?
The Padrón is Spain’s official register of residents. Registration, known as empadronamiento, is mandatory for anyone residing in Spain for more than six months. To register, visit your local town hall (ayuntamiento) with necessary documentation. Requirements can vary, so it’s advisable to check with your local ayuntamiento for specific details.
NIE

NIE

Spanish ID number for non-Spaniards

?
The Número de Identidad de Extranjero (NIE) is a unique identification number assigned to non-Spanish residents. It’s essential for various activities, including purchasing property, opening a bank account, and fulfilling tax obligations. You can apply for an NIE either in Spain or through a Spanish consulate in your home country. It’s important to note that while the NIE serves as a tax identification number, it does not grant residency rights in Spain.
EU Residence Card

EU Residence Card

Official Residency Card for EU citizens

?
The EU Residence Card is a mandatory document for European Union citizens planning to reside in Spain for more than three months. It serves as official proof of residence and includes personal details and the assigned Número de Identidad de Extranjero (NIE). To obtain this certificate, applicants must schedule an appointment within three months of arrival. Required documentation varies based on employment status but generally includes a valid passport or ID, proof of employment or sufficient financial means, and health insurance coverage.
family EU

EU Family Residence Card

Residency for family members of EU citizens

?
The EU Family Member Residence Card is required for non-EU nationals who are family members of EU citizens residing in Spain. It confirms legal residence and grants the right to live and work in Spain. The card includes personal details and a Número de Identidad de Extranjero (NIE). Applications must be submitted within three months of arrival. Required documents typically include a valid passport, proof of the family relationship (e.g., marriage or birth certificate), the EU citizen’s residence certificate, proof of cohabitation, evidence of the EU citizen’s employment or financial means, and health insurance.
Pareja de Hecho

Pareja de Hecho

Legal recognition of a non-married couple

?
A pareja de hecho is a legally recognized partnership in Spain for couples who live together in a stable, continuous relationship without marrying. Requirements and benefits vary by autonomous community but generally include rights related to inheritance, social benefits, and taxation. To register, couples typically need to provide proof of cohabitation and meet criteria such as being unmarried and of legal age.
