Online appointment to renew the DNI<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To access the appointment page to renew the DNI click here<\/a>. It is important to note that there is not an English version available of this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To request an appointment through the internet <\/strong>it is necessary to be in possession of a DNI or NIE. Thus, Spanish citizens of legal age who do not have this document or Spanish citizens of foreign parents without a NIE must “go to an issuing office and request the procedure in person<\/em>“, according to what can be read on the Police website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The online appointment request <\/strong>is available for the first registration of a child or ward who does not have a DNI yet. In this case, the appointment must be individual. Multiple appointments can be requested in all other cases, for the applicant and up to three companions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow the steps of the online system to renew the DNI<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once it has been verified that the requirements to request the online appointment<\/strong> for the renewal or first processing of the DNI have been met, the user must click on the “Start the application”<\/strong> option. After that, the system will ask you to fill in a series of personal data, such as the number and letter of the document, date of validity, and the “equipo de expedici\u00f3n” (the 9-character code located on the back of the DNI card, kind of an issuance code).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do not have all the information (for example, if you do not know the equipo de expedici\u00f3n because your ID was stolen<\/strong>), you must click on the link that appears in the bottom section which corresponds to “Loss and subtraction of the document<\/a>“<\/strong>. After filling in your name and your parents’ name and inputting a functional email, you will immediately be sent the expiration date of the DNI and the equipo de expedici\u00f3n so that you can continue with your appointment request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step that the system will show is selecting which procedure you wish to carry out (in this case, is the renewal of the DNI). Once you have clicked on this option, a text will appear on the screen for you to choose the nearest province<\/strong>. When you click on the one that best suits your address, the available days and hours for the coming months will appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the day, time and police station have been selected, you must include a mobile phone and an email<\/strong> so they can send you the appointment confirmation. When you click on “Confirm<\/strong>“, your appointment to renew the DNI will have been set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
