CS Lawyers

We understand that foreigners or non-residents can have many linguistic and cultural problems in dealing with Spanish Authorities and other bodies. Steps to obtain documents such as Residence Permits, NIE number (fiscal Identification number), drivers’ license, etc. are normally not complicated but the process can be difficult if the right guidance and advice is not requested.

We have much experience in obtaining all kinds of documents for foreigners and non-residents, and can also arrange for the notarisation, legalising, apostilling of documents. We can help you to save time and avoid problems obtaining permits and documents on your behalf or advise you of the precise steps you have to follow to request them yourself.

Anyone from the EU can enter Spain without such an NIE number but cannot do many day to day things without one. If you intend to buy property, buy a car, take out insurance and many other financial transactions in Spain you will a NIE. Both husband and wife or partners wishing to conduct joint transactions will each need their own NIE.
