Offices that issue the DNI identity card in Spain

Where the police issue and renew cards, and how to get a time

The DNI is issued at Policía Nacional offices, and large cities can have several. Choose a city to see which offices handle identity cards, how to get an appointment and what to bring, for example evidence if you claim a fee exemption. The passport usually has its own booking at the same offices, so choose the right one. Confirm opening times and booking rules before you travel.
