Registering on the padrón is free and takes one appointment. Which of the two documents an office will accept, and the renewal that catches non-EU residents.

The NIE is a number that never expires. The TIE is a card that does. Which document each type of foreign national actually ends up holding in Spain.

Renewing a TIE means renewing the permit behind it first, in most cases. The real deadline, the forms, the tasa, and what an expired card blocks.

The TIE is the physical card that proves a non-EU resident permit in Spain. What it is, how the first one is issued, and what it does not give you.

The modelo 790 código 012 is the fee behind nearly every extranjería procedure. Which heading to tick, how to pay it, and what the wrong one costs.

The EX-15 is the Spanish NIE application form. What each block asks, which purpose to request, and the details that get a file rejected at the counter.
