Hello,

sorry if this topic is not in the right place
I am about to order an item from abroad.
They are asking me for the NIF number, what is it?
What is it used for and where can I find it?

Does a website that asks for the NIF number justify its seriousness or at least its professional character?

Thank you

Hello

in principle the NIF is in Spain

NIF = Tax Identification Number

maybe other countries have adopted it

but in principle it is for foreigners owning real estate in Spain

best regards

Hello dany311

Indeed, the purchase is taking place in Spain

So if it's for Spain, I am not required to fill in this field and they will not ask for it later?
Does the fact that the site requests this information justify its seriousness?

Thank you for your reply

False,

It's not just in Spain, for example in Portugal.

It is the Tax Identification Number
that will be used for local taxes, opening a bank account, and any correspondence with the administration.
