We indicate how to proceed in the event of expired identification documents, for the issuance of new idCAT Certificat and idCAT Mòbil (DNI or TIE) :  

  • DNI: has the validity period indicated on the card and is not extendable. Therefore, only valid DNIs are accepted.  
  • Passport: only valid passports are accepted, as the extension, or not, of this document depends on the national provisions of each state.  
  • TIE: its validity is extended until the resolution of the renewal request, provided that it has been requested up to 90 days after its expiration and the corresponding resolution is pending (Regulations implementing the Organic Law on the rights and freedoms of foreigners in Spain).  
  • European Union Citizen Registration Certificate : has no expiration date
