TIE HoyEX-15 — form for NIE and certificates
Use EX-15 for standalone NIE assignment and certain certificates, not for the physical TIE card. The form only works when the channel and documents match.
What is EX-15 for?
EX-15 is the official form for a foreigner identity number and certificates, including NIE assignment and resident or non-resident certificates.
It is not the TIE card form; fingerprints and the physical card use EX-17.
Where do I download and submit EX-15?
Download the official EX-15 form; for NIE in Spain, book CITA PREVIA EXTRANJERÍA — Asignación de N.I.E..
If applying through a consulate, follow that consulate’s NIE page and bring the form original plus one copy.
What to do
Fill EX-15 for the exact procedure; the same form serves different requests.

Steps

- Choose the request: NIE assignment, resident certificate, or non-resident certificate.

Basis
Police lists EX-15 for NIE assignment and certificates; Exteriores lists EX-15 as the consular NIE appointment form. The same form changes meaning according to the selected procedure.
More questions
Do I need two copies?
For consular NIE, Exteriores Edinburgh asks for the original and one copy. Police appointment pages may ask for the official form as part of the documentation.
What if someone files for me?
Bring the representative’s ID and power of attorney expressly authorizing the NIE request, plus the applicant passport copy.
Does EX-15 replace 790-012?
No. EX-15 is the request form; 790-012 is the fee form or receipt when the procedure requires payment.
