## Questions about this service

### What is the difference between NIE and TIE?

The NIE is your foreigner identification number. The TIE is the physical card proving your residence status. Most residents need both; we handle the sequence for you.

### Can you help if my permit is expiring soon?

Yes — renewals have strict windows. Contact us as early as possible so our partner lawyer can file on time.

### Do you guarantee approval?

No one honestly can. We help you prepare the strongest possible application; the decision is made by the Spanish authorities and each case is assessed on its merits.
