"""NIF (Número de Identificación Fiscal, Spanish VAT number).

The Spanish VAT number is a 9-digit number where either the first, last
digits or both can be letters.

The number is either a DNI (Documento nacional de identidad, for
Spaniards), a NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjeros, for
foreigners) or a CIF (Certificado de Identificación Fiscal, for legal
entities and others).
