I recently bought a new car and needed to provide my NIE. That's when the fun started as there was a line in the page footer of the NIE saying valid for 3 monthsin Spanish (I got it late 2012).

The certificate had expired but the NIE number stays the same.

 

I went with my Solicitor to the immigration office in Murcia to obtain one (solicitor made an appointment to avoid the large queues).

It then turns out that the new NIE certificates no longer have your address on them so I then had to go to the town hall in Torre Pacheco to get a Padron (solicitor gave me required forms/document).

 

Finally able to buy my new car with the new NIE certificate and the Padron.

I used Tien21 in Roldan and am very happy, easy to go back to a store if you run into problems was my thought process
