The easiest solution is normally to use the User's ResourceProperties
to store this information. For users saved in Sakai's DB you can just
add the additional properties with something like:

User user = UserDirectoryService.editUser('userId");
user.getProperties().addProperty("NIF", "1234");
UserDirectoryService.commitEdit(user);
