What is the Número de Soporte? (Lanzarote)

Many official online procedures in Spain ask for your "número de soporte" — and almost everyone struggles to find it. Here is exactly what it is and where it lives on your document.

Where to find it

On a TIE card it starts with the letter E followed by digits (e.g. E00000000) and is printed on the front or back of the card.

On the green EU certificate it is the IXESP / C-number reference. On older A4 certificates it may be labelled "Nº de soporte" near the top.

What it is used for

It is required to verify your identity on digital services such as Cl@ve, the immigration portal, and many regional administration websites. Without it, online procedures cannot be completed.

In Lanzarote
