The new version of the document has created some confusion, many people from Malaga are approaching the Provincial Police Station and other offices to renew their DNI, thinking that it is no longer necessary to carry a recent photograph because at the same moment the agents take it, something that is not thus, as explained in the SER José Martín, chief documentation inspector.
Last June, the National Police began issuing the new document in various documentation offices. From this Monday, and after the progressive implementation throughout Spain, the European DNI will only be issued to all those citizens who come to renew their identity document. For the moment, and as has been done so far, the citizen must provide his own photograph and pay the 12 euros fee.
The National Police, in a joint effort with La Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre – Real Casa de la Moneda, has designed a support that includes material, technical, security, functional and usability characteristics in accordance with the needs requested by citizens in the digital age. Among the changes introduced, the new DNI includes the name in English –National Identity Card-, since European regulations require that the words identity document appear in at least one other official language of the EU institutions. On the obverse, the two-letter code of the Member State has also been added –ES in the case of Spain–, printed in negative in a blue rectangle and surrounded by twelve yellow stars.
