Certificato de Registro de ciudadano de la union

When an EU Citizen  moves to Spain they must register on the EU Citizen Register.   If they already have an NIE, that number is shown on the application form, if they do not, then when the certificate is issued, it will bear an NIE.

One cannot any longer make the appointment at the police station,   it now can only be done online.

As you follow through the route shown below (it covers NIE and EU Citizen Registration and Residencia application for non EU nationals) you should be directed to the web page to download the appropriate application form,  the payment form (pay at any bank) and the documents required. 

No photo is required for EU Citizens, as the certificate which will be issued is not any sort of ID.  The only legal ID for a Brit is their original passport.  Of course for non legal type things, e.g. other than at the notary, the police, the courts etc.  other docs will usually be accepted.  Ones D/L is usually OK

Sorry but the M.O. is not exactly straightforward !

Good luck.
