Applicants wait months for TIE cards after fingerprinting

“Hi everyone! I was just needing a bit of guidance, I am in the process of the TIE renewal and am now at the stage of needing a fingerprint appointment. However, I do not have access to Cl@ve so I was wondering whether it would be possible for me to apply for Cl@ve with just my resolution letter so that I can find an appointment quickly. Thank you for the help in advance! submitted by /u/Cutiepan_ [link] [comments]”

“I finally completed my TIE fingerprint appointment today at the Aluche police station in Madrid for my residence permit as a family member of a Spanish citizen (EX-24) , and I wanted to share my experience because I was surprised by how different the requirements were depending on the police officer. TL;DR: I went to the same police station on two consecutive days. Yesterday, one officer asked for both individual and household empadronamiento certificates and required my Spanish partner to come”

“We moved to Spain a couple of months ago, and we carry original NIE cards of all family members everywhere, like when we're driving, dropping kids to school, doing groceries, going to the gym, etc. but it's always scary to think "what if we drop or lose the bag carrying our NIE cards?" Please share your thoughts... What's the worst could happen if we start keeping our original NIE safely at home and keep a colored copy in the car along with high-resolution pictures of NIE c”

“Hi, I finally had my NIE appointment in Barcelona after 40 days living here. During the appointment the Police mentioned that he saw a difference between my name in the passport and the name that he was looking at the screen. We corrected the misspelling on the spot. Unfortunately after I got my NIE, I didn’t check my name at the paper document and realised that my surname is wrong by 1 letter. I’m pretty sure this will be an issue whenever I try to do anything that wants to compare my passport”

“Hola a todos: ¿Podríais recomendarme algún abogado especialista en extranjería que maneje casos un poco más complejos para una renovación de TIE? Voy a renovar mi tarjeta de residencia y trabajo temporal por cuenta ajena (segunda vez). La normativa es un poco compleja (bueno, mi situacion es compleja) y no logro entender del todo si cumplo o no con los requisitos exactos para la renovación. Ya he consultado a dos abogados distintos, pero ambos me dieron respuestas muy ambiguas "podría ser o”

“Hi everyone, I am a researcher in Spain under Law 14/2013 and I am a bit confused about whether I will receive a new TIE after my latest renewal. My timeline is: My previous TIE/residence authorization expired in July. I then received a separate renewal/extension from July until September because my research contract was extended until September. I did not get a new TIE during this period. I applied again for a renewal as a researcher. The duration stated on the resolution is: " Desde el dí”

“Hi Everyone, From the title itself. My original TIE expired on 1 Aug 2026 and I requested for the extension and got approved for an extension up to 15 Nov 2026 . Just enough to finish my Master Thesis and overall studies. However I am due to travel to Stockholm on 19 Oct 2026 to 24 Oct 2026 for defense and handle some leftover procedures. (I am doing a joint program between 2 universities with my 2nd year here in Spain). However, since my extension is less than 6 months , I was not eligible, nor”

“Hi, I’m trying to book my TIE appointment online, as I’m flying to Spain in 2 weeks, and I’m reading that I should book it ahead of time online. When I try to book it through the website though, it just.. doesn’t work? The link doesn’t lead me anywhere. It says I need an up to date browser for it, but I’ve tried on chrome, MS edge and safari on my phone - none of them work. Has anyone faced this? Further to this though, when I’ve tried to look for reports of the website not working online, I’ve”

“Has any non-Spanish EU citizen been able to get their digital certificate before doing the "registration as a citizen of the EU" appointment in Madrid? It seems like I need my NIE from the latter appt to get the digicert but there aren't any appointments for the "registration as a citizen of the EU" appt available right now without clave (though maybe there aren't any appts available with clave either haha)... if anyone knows what time the Extranjeria drops those EU c”

“Hey everyone. Was wondering if a student or someone in a similar situation can help me out. My student visa had my NIE written on it. I went to Digi for home Internet and a phone number , they wouldn’t take my NIE on the passport they said it has to be a TIE or go to the extranjeria and ask for a blank paper with my name and NIE on it. I just got here and the TIE is gonna take ages.Has anyone had a similar experience and can give any inputs or advice on what to do? (In Mallorca if it matters) &#”

“I've had my toma de huella last July 21st in Las Rozas in Madrid, they basically didn't provide the time frame of the release, but directed me to check the SEDE website. For reference my Lote is 2026/138 (this was what the police highlighted for me to check on the website). It's been one and a half month and the lote batch that's showing in SEDE is 45. Has anyone experienced this? I know that TIE process usually takes 30-45 days, but in this case I think mine's going to take”
