How do I know when my TIE card is ready for collection in Mallorca
In Mallorca, Spain, when your TIE (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero) card is ready for collection, you can check its status through these methods:
1. Online: Visit the Spanish government's official website (https://sede.administracionespublicas.gob.es/) and use the "Información sobre el estado de tramitación de la Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE)" service.
2. Check your resolution number: Enter your NIE number and the date you submitted your application.
3. Phone: Call the local Immigration Office (Oficina de Extranjería) in Palma de Mallorca.
Once your TIE is ready, you'll need to:
- Make an appointment (cita previa) ( We can help with that ) at the National Police station
- Bring your passport
- Bring the original and a copy of your NIE resolution
- Bring the payment receipt (Model 790, Code 012)
- Bring a recent passport-sized photo
The processing time typically takes 30-40 days, but this can vary depending on the office's workload.
