The rules regarding NIE applications have once again been revised. Local police stations are once again accepting applications on behalf of third parties from representatives with power of attorney.
The last revision to the rules on 3rd January 2012 made it mandatory for individuals applying for a NIE number to personally attend the local police station to make the application. It was no longer possible to engage the services of a representative with power of attorney to carry out this process.
The process of acquiring an NIE is not simple. The lack of conformity in what documentation is required is staggering as are the queues at the local police stations. It is therefore good news for those people who are daunted by the whole process of applying for an NIE number that they can now hand it over to someone else who can battle their way through the bureaucracy and queues on their behalf.
