      NIE Number an old chestnut but here we go

      A Spanish person helping us with the purchase of a house in the Valencia region rang regarding the NIE Numbers
      We were making arrangements to go over when she phoned the police station
      Making sure that we didn’t have to make an appointment, when she was told that if we sent our passports and four photocopies over that she could get them on our behalf

      What do ye think 😕

      This person will not be able to make the applications for you. Wait until you next come to Spain.

      Good Luck

      Apart from the fact I am 99.99999% recurring sure that your NIE cannot be obtained this way, I do not think sending your original passport to anyone, anywhere is a wise idea.

      NIE can only be applied IN PERSON or by some one with a Power of Attorney granted by you and specifically authorizing him to do so…

      DO NOT send your passport to anyone. If someone needs to use it in your behalf, it’s much safer and not too expensive to get a notarized copy of it with the Hague Apostille from any UK Notary (perfectly valid in Spain)
