EX-15 · NIE

Prepare form EX-15

Scan your passport, check the details, and download the official EX-15 already filled in, plus a list of what to bring to your appointment.

Your photo is read on this device and is never uploaded. What you type stays in this browser tab only: it isn't saved to your account, and it disappears when you refresh, sign out or press Clear data.

Upload or scan your passport

Take a photo of the page with your picture. We read the two code lines at the bottom (the ones with <<<) and fill in the form for you. Then you check every highlighted field.

Tips: lay the passport flat, use good light without glare, and keep the two lines at the bottom sharp and fully in the frame. The first scan downloads the reading engine (a few MB).

You get the official EX-15 with your answers already filled in, in capital letters. It's created on your device. Check it, then print it, sign it and bring the original and a copy. You can still edit the fields in any PDF reader.

What to bring to your appointment

  • Form EX-15, filled in and signed: the original and a copy (the form itself asks for both).
  • Your valid passport (or identity or travel document): the original and a copy of the whole document.
  • Something that shows the economic, professional or social reasons for your application, for example a job offer, a purchase contract or an admission letter.
  • Proof that you paid the fee: form 790, code 012, paid before your appointment.
  • Only if someone applies for you: a power of attorney that expressly allows them to submit this application.

Foreign public documents may need to be legalized or apostilled, and officially translated into Spanish.

Checked against these official pages on 7 November 2026. Your office may ask for more.

Easyburo helps you prepare. It isn't legal advice and doesn't submit anything for you. Always check the official form and the requirements of the office where you apply.
