NIE renewal??
In 2000 I was issued with a NIE number. After 6 yrs we returned to the UK.
We are now contemplating returning to Spain.
Will my NIE number be valid or would I need to re apply for a new one?

It's still valid, so no need to re-apply.

Ours were issued in 2006 in Tenerife and are still valid.

It will be the same number. Have you kept the original document? If you lost the original NIE-document you might need to redo them, as there are situations in Spain, when originals are needed. But if u kept them, it is all fine. Best regards, Babelina Legal Translations

Interesting note.
Am I wrong in thinking then that you have to renew the NIE on a 3 year or so basis?

There was a period when NIEs were issued with an expiry date. If yours hasn't got an expiry date then it's good for life.
It's the padron that has to be renewed periodically.
