My wife and I intend retire to Spain, move to Santa Pola in November and look for a house. Initially we are going to rent so we don't have to rush a decision.
We find information that says we have to register and get a NIE number, which is supposedly easy and I have a couple of questions about this.
Do we just need passports or ID cards (wife is German) and also birth certificates? Do we need to have them translated into Spanish?
Do we need to produce a marriage certificate, if so does it need to be translated into Spanish?
Is there any other paperwork we require to register? somewhere I read about proof of income.
We would gratefully appreciate someone taking the time to assist us here. We speak no Spanish.
