What do I need to issue a power of attorney for Spain?
We require your valid identity document (passport or national ID card) and the details of the person who is to receive the power of attorney. If you already have your NIE number (Foreigner Identification Number), it is very important that you bring it with you, so we can include it directly in the public deed to prevent registration issues in Spain.
