Until now, the registration process has been characterised by a number of bureaucratic hurdles, such as applying for a Spanish tax ID, the NIF, and having the necessary documents notarised. Now for the good news: the process has been significantly simplified and can now largely be carried out online. Notarisation and the Hague Apostille are still required, but can be completed entirely digitally via our partner. Appointments are available at short notice, take just a few minutes and enable the certified and apostilled documents to be issued quickly.
- NIF (Spanish tax number)
With immediate effect, foreign producers can apply for their NIF digitally via take-e-way. The NIF is then usually issued within a few days. - Power of attorney for the local authorised representative
When appointing a local authorised representative, a notarised power of attorney with a Hague Apostille remains the safest and simplest method. However, thanks to our digital notary partner, this process can be carried out entirely online. Booking an appointment is straightforward, the certification takes just a few minutes, and the apostilled document is then made available promptly.
These changes make the Spanish registration process significantly easier, faster and more convenient than in the past. Businesses benefit from a largely digital process whilst maintaining full legal certainty and compliance. If you have any questions or would like to start your registration now, we’d be happy to help.
