How to pay the Tasa 790-012
1
Fill in the form online
Go to sede.policia.gob.es/Tasa790_012 ↗ and fill in your details: name, passport number, nationality, address in Spain, and the correct fee code for your document type.
2
Select the correct code (epígrafe)
Choose code 012 for NIE/TIE. The system will pre-fill the amount based on your selection. Double-check the amount matches the table above.
3
Print the completed form
Print the form in two copies. The bank needs both copies — one is stamped and returned to you as your receipt.
4
Go to any Spanish bank counter
Walk into any Spanish bank branch and tell the teller you need to pay a Tasa 790-012. You do not need to have an account at that bank. They will stamp both copies after payment.
5
Keep your stamped receipt
The bank returns one stamped copy. This is your proof of payment. Bring it to your appointment — without it, your application will be rejected.
💡 Pay before your appointment, not on the same day
Some bank branches have limited opening hours. Pay the tasa 1–2 days before your appointment to avoid last-minute stress. The receipt is valid for 3 months.
