Lugo · Número de Identidad de Extranjero (NIE)

NIE offices in Lugo

3 offices in Lugo handle Número de Identidad de Extranjero (NIE), in Lugo, Monforte de Lemos and Viveiro. Not every police station in the province does — going to one that does not costs you the appointment, and the appointment is the part that takes weeks.

The Immigration Office in Lugo

Número de Identidad de Extranjero (NIE) is an authorisation, so it is decided at an Oficina de Extranjería under the Government Delegation — not at a police station. They are separate networks with separate appointment systems, and going to the wrong one is the most common wasted journey in Spanish immigration.

The ministry publishes no per-office list of services for Lugo — its page gives addresses, phones and opening hours only. These are the province's Immigration Offices, which is where authorisations of this kind are decided.

Which of them to choose

Lugo has 3 offices dealing with immigration matters, of which 3 handle Número de Identidad de Extranjero (NIE). The widest range is at Brigada Provincial de Extranjería y Fronteras de Lugo, in Lugo, which lists 10 services.

All 3 of them handle the same core set, so for these you can simply go to whichever is nearest:

  • EU registration certificates
  • NIE numbers and certificates
  • Letters of invitation
  • Nationality reports
  • Return authorisations
  • Stay extensions
  • Student permits

Anything outside that list is where the offices differ, and each entry below says what its own office adds.

Before you travel to one of these

Almost all of these offices work by appointment only, booked through the electronic office of the public administration. Turning up without one generally means being turned away, however short the queue looks. Office assignments also change, so if what is here does not match what you are told on the phone, believe the phone and tell us.
