Hey,
my wallet was also recently stolen.  Fortunately, I was able to stop all my bank cards. I've also applied for a new NIE in these 5 days since it's been stolen.  But then all my cards were returned to me by an anonymous caller..

My question: how do I cancel my NIE application? (Not appointment)

Maya_17

HELLO if I request a new NIE, payment,  filled forms, etc
When you make all process  in the police office deliver the NIE stolen and give the new. You can Change in Police Office the new NIE und get to Police the stolen NIE.
If you have just made ​​an appointment to the police and still has not processed the NIE, you can call or visit the Issue of appointment to cancel.
thats all

Hello, my Nie was stolen last October 22, 2017 and it will expire on January 15 2018. Do I need to ask for duplicate or proceed to renewal? Please help thanks

Johncar

There is confusion here.

An NIE never expiries and never needs to be renewed.        If it is lost them one can apply to replace the certificate. It is advisable to make a loss report (denuncia) at a National Police or Guardia Civil office (or whatever is the equivalent in Catalunia etc)  as usually that is required when  one makes an application to replace it.

If it is an EU Citizen Registration Certificate or in the case of a non EU citizen a RESIDENCIA,  again it is best to report the loss and then apply at the Extranjería for the replacement  at the office where you obtained it unless you have moved since then,

I see that you are from Philippines, a non-EU citizen ,  so you must be referring to your plastic residencia  ID card

You will need to report it stolen (denuncia) and then go to National Police  Extranjería  (foreigners Dept)  where you live and tell them what has happened and ask what you will require.   

As you know you are required to carry  that card at all times.

hi yeah it seems a bit messy.

i just lost my card and dont have it, it was not stolen, cant i just ask for a new one somewhere and take my passport or something.

I ve had one for years dont understand why you have to reapply and report it lost or stolen just to get find out what your number is again!?

I understand that they cant do it over the phone but it should be pretty easy.

cheers

If you want to obtain a replacement then you need to follow my advice.   

It is not messy, in fact it is very simple and straightforward, as long as one just accepts that  it is the way it is

What you choose to do is up to you. 

PS.   I never understand why people want to argue about the system and change it to the way they think it should be instead of taking the easy way and just do what is required
