Following the declaration of the state of alarm by RD 463/2020, the service "Application for NIF of a natural person - without DNI / NIE - not in person" was created to allow the non-face-to-face processing of the application for assignment of a tax identification number ( NIF ) without requiring the appearance of the interested party, or their representative or presenter, at the offices of the AEAT for:

• Spanish individuals who do not have a national identity document ( DNI )
• Foreigners who do not have NIE

They need a NIF because they are going to carry out operations of a tax nature or significance without requiring the appearance of the interested party at the offices of the AEAT .
