Extra Tip's for online validating the Viaje status while booking
When booking travel online and qualifying to use the resident discount while downloading the Viaje app, the NIE number is typically requested during the booking process, and your status is verified automatically, negating the need to present all documents again at check-in.
Full Name Entry: Always enter the full name as it appears on your NIE application. Ensure that only the surname is placed in the "Last Name" field, while all other names, even if they are surnames, should go in the "First Name" field.
Complex Cases: In particularly complex situations, you might need to experiment a bit with name entries.
Umlauts and International Spellings: For names containing umlauts, like "Bäcker", ensure you use the international spelling (e.g., "Baecker").
Married Names: If you are married and your birth name appears on your ID, it might be entered as a second surname. In such cases, entering your birth name in the "First Name" field can be helpful.
