How much does a handled NIE application cost?

The government fee is €9.84 for everyone. On top of that we charge one flat fee, quoted and agreed up front — it includes the filing, the official fee.

How long does the POA route take?

Typically 5–10 working days from the moment we receive your signed POA. The legal police deadline after filing is 5 working days; the rest is document preparation we handle.

Your NIE, filed by a representative — no travel, no queue

Q: How does the POA NIE route work?

You grant a limited power of attorney for the NIE procedure to a representative in Spain. Sign it at a notary in your country (apostilled where required), and the representative files EX-15, pays the €9.84 fee and collects the certificate on your behalf — typically 5–10 working days.

Q: Do I have to travel to Spain?

No. Your only action is signing the POA at a notary in your country — about 15 minutes. Filing, fee payment and collection all happen in Spain without you.

Q: Is a power of attorney safe?

The POA is limited in scope — it authorises only the NIE application procedure, nothing else. It is signed before a notary, who verifies your identity and the document's scope. You can revoke it at any time.

Sign a limited power of attorney at a notary near you. We prepare the pack, pay the official fee, file at the police registry and collect your certificate. You receive it by email — most cases in 5–10 working days.
