Box B5 “Company name or name” must be filled in when submitting the registration declaration with the company name or name of the entity, which must appear in the public deed or reliable document of its incorporation. In a declaration of modification, the new corporate name or business name must be expressed in a public deed or reliable document, as the case may be.

In the event that when requesting the NIF there is a public deed or reliable document of incorporation, the date of the same will be recorded in box B9 “Date of incorporation” .

The assignment of a definitive NIF to an entity requires justification of compliance with all the constitutive requirements according to each type of legal person or entity.
