Passport/EU ID card requirements for NIF/Bank Account

As proof of identity for our NIF service, we accept either an international passport or a European Union (EU) national ID card.

As proof of identity for our banking service, we accept only an international passport.

Passport

Please ensure that the document is valid and up-to-date. How to produce a good quality passport scan:

1) Make sure the passport is open and the pages are visible.

2) The scan should be in color, not black and white.

3) The resolution of the scan should be at least 300 dpi (dots per inch) to ensure that the image is clear and legible.

3) The image should be in a common file format, such as JPEG or PNG, to ensure that it can be easily viewed on any device.

Please refer to the visual guide below for examples of good-quality photos or scans of passports or ID cards. These images can help ensure that your document is accepted and processed quickly:

NOTE! We can only accept ID cards from EU citizens. If your signature is not present on your ID card, you must apply with an international passport. This is because we are unable to verify your signature if it is not on your ID card.
