Changing the letter of the NIF will not affect the unique EORI in the EU (Economic Operators Registration and Identification Number)

Due to the great importance that the EORI number (Economic Operator Identification Number) is unique throughout the life of a legal entity or natural person; since it is valid throughout the European Union, known by all Member States and essential to acquire certain customs authorizations, in which the EORI cannot be modified; The option, existing until December 15, to change the EORI number has been deactivated because the letter of the NIF would have changed.

So the Spanish EORI number will always be the same as the one granted for the first time, and cannot be changed even if the entity or person changes their NIF.
