The same NIF. E-Residency charges €99 to €249. We charge 39.99 once.

E-Residency is one of the most visible NIF services online, with three tiers: NIF Essential at €99, NIF Priority at €139 and NIF Urgent at €249. The faster you want the NIF, the more you pay. Every tier renews at €99 a year after the first year. Coepi charges €39.99 once, with nothing to renew.

Nothing renews.

€297E-Residency Essential, if you never cancel

€99 for the NIF and the first year on the Essential tier, then €99 in each of the next two years (checked 12 June 2026). On the Urgent tier it is €249 plus €198, so €447.

The renewal is a service contract with E-Residency. Check its terms before the first year ends.

When E-Residency is the better choice
Already have a NIF from E-Residency? You do not need a new one.

A NIF is valid for life and does not depend on who applied. What you may want is to stop the €99 yearly renewal before it renews.

Questions
Is there a cheaper alternative to E-Residency?

Yes. Coepi charges €39.99 including VAT, once, for the same official NIF. That is between 60% and 84% less than E-Residency's tiers, which run from €99 to €249 and renew at €99 a year.

Why does E-Residency have three tiers?

The tiers trade price for speed. NIF Essential is €99, NIF Priority €139 and NIF Urgent €249, and the fastest handling is reserved for the most expensive tier. Coepi has one price and submits every complete application the same business day.
