Online Power of Attorney for DNI, NIE, or Passport

Yes, it is completely possible. The parent who cannot be present must grant a specific power of attorney authorizing the other parent to carry out the minor's DNI procedure on their behalf.

This power must include complete data of both parents, of the minor, and clearly specify that this specific procedure is authorized before the National Police.

The power must contain:

• Complete data of the grantor (who gives the power) and the attorney-in-fact (who receives it)
• DNI, NIE, or passport number of both parties
• Clear description of the authorized procedure: DNI, NIE, or passport application
• Powers to submit documentation, sign applications, and collect documents
• Minor's data if applicable
• Signature before licensed notary with legal validity

Yes, you have several options:

• Online with Spanish notary: The fastest way is via video conference with a licensed notary in Spain using digital certificate
• Local notary with Apostille: Sign it before a notary in your country and legalize it with the Hague Apostille
• Consulate or Embassy: Before a Spanish consular official abroad

The online option is the most agile, without travel and ready in 24 hours.

The power can have different durations according to your needs:

• Specific and temporary power: Only for this specific procedure (recommended). It automatically expires once completed
• Power with expiration date: Valid for example 6 months or 1 year from granting
• Indefinite power: Until expressly revoked

The most recommended is to grant a power limited in object and time, exclusively for the identification procedure in question.

It depends on how the power is drafted:

• Specific power (recommended): Only for the specific DNI, NIE, or passport procedure you indicate
• Broad power: May include other procedures related to identity documentation

For legal security, we recommend specific and limited powers for the exact procedure you need, thus avoiding improper or unauthorized uses.

If you detect an error before signing, the notary can correct the document at no additional cost. If the error is detected after signing, it will be necessary to:

• Grant a new power with the correct data
• Revoke the erroneous power through a notarial act

That's why it's essential to review all data before the signing video conference. The notary will also verify the information with you during the process.

Yes, you can revoke the power at any time before it is used or even during its validity. To do this you must:

• Grant a deed of revocation before a notary
• Reliably notify the attorney-in-fact
• Inform the corresponding authorities if the procedure has already started

Revocation can also be done online through the same notarial video conference procedure.
