Por qué el número
One number, asked for at every door
Granada gathers people for reasons that rarely overlap. A doctoral candidate comes for a laboratory at the University, a language assistant for a school year in Zaidín or Maracena, a designer who answers clients abroad from a flat in the Realejo, a retired couple who chose the Albaicín for its light and the Sierra Nevada for its winters. Within a few weeks each of them meets the same question, at a bank, at a landlord’s desk or at a faculty office: what is your NIE?
The number is issued by the Policía Nacional, in a single appointment. How smoothly that goes is decided before it: the form that suits your situation, the fee paid under the right code, a cita previa found for the province, and the address your confirmation gives, since the city has two extranjería desks. We put those pieces in their places with you, so that the morning itself is short.
Trámites
The procedures, in three courts
Each trámite has its page: what it is, who it concerns, the documents, and what changes in Granada. Pick the court that matches your passport, or the city’s own offices.

En Granada
Where the NIE is done in Granada
Two official pages give two addresses for the NIE in Granada. The Delegación del Gobierno puts it at the police unit inside the Oficina de Extranjería, Calle San Agapito 2, on the corner of Ribera del Beiro; the directory of the Policía Nacional files it under the Brigada Provincial de Extranjería y Fronteras, whose street is Calle La Palmita. The University of Granada’s guide for incoming students books its appointments at San Agapito 2. Your cita previa confirmation names the office, and our page on the two addresses sets out what each source says. On the coast and in the altiplano, the Comisaría de Motril and the Comisaría de Baza also list NIE procedures.
Two official pages, two addresses. For the Delegación del Gobierno, numbers, European registrations and cards are a matter for the police unit of San Agapito 2; for the police directory, for the Brigada on Calle La Palmita. The University of Granada sends its students to San Agapito 2. No date on either page settles it, so let the confirmation decide: whichever office it prints is expecting you.

The padrón of the city
Nine Oficinas de Información y Registro take the padrón by appointment, reserved through citaprevia.granada.org; the sede electrónica accepts it online with a digital certificate. A rental contract with a recent utility bill, or a bill in your own name, proves the address.
Empadronamiento in Granada-
Your procedure, correctly named
Most refusals begin with the wrong form. We start by naming your procedure, in Spanish and in English, before anything is filled in.
-
The two addresses, explained
We tell you what each official source says about San Agapito and La Palmita, and we read your confirmation with you.
-
Made for your case
A student, an assistant, a remote worker and a retiree do not share a file. Your checklist is written for yours.
-
Plain about what we are
A private, independent service. The administration decides; we prepare, and we say so on every page.
Preguntas frecuentes
What Granada asks first
The searches that bring people here, answered briefly. The full answers live on the pages for Europeans and for everyone else.
Cita previa NIE Granada: how do I book it?
Online, on the cita previa page of the administration’s sede electrónica (sede.administracionespublicas.gob.es). Select Granada as the province, then the police procedure for your case, enter the passport details and take a slot. The confirmation names the office and the time.
Extranjería Granada: San Agapito or La Palmita?
Both appear in official sources. The Delegación del Gobierno lists the NIE at the police unit of the Oficina de Extranjería, Calle San Agapito 2; the police directory lists it at the Brigada on Calle La Palmita. Your appointment confirmation tells you which one expects you.
Huellas TIE Granada: when are the fingerprints taken?
Soon after you arrive with a long-stay visa or a granted authorisation: padrón first, then the 790-012 fee, then the fingerprint slot, with form EX-17 in hand. The card is collected later, with the receipt.
Certificado de registro UE in Granada: where is it issued?
At the police desk your cita previa confirmation names. A European staying beyond three months files the EX-18 there; the University of Granada’s guide books it at San Agapito 2.
Empadronamiento in Granada: where is it done?
At one of the Ayuntamiento’s Oficinas de Información y Registro, on a date taken through citaprevia.granada.org, or from home with a digital certificate.
Can I do the NIE in Motril or Baza?
Possibly: both comisarías carry NIE certificates and TIE issue in the police directory. If the cita previa system offers them for your procedure, they can save a trip into the city.
