If you have already completed your fingerprints for your TIE card in Albacete province, you can check the progress of your lot here. The lot number is usually shown on the resguardo you received after your fingerprint appointment. It may also appear as lote TIE or lote de Extranjería.
Make sure you choose the correct office before checking. Albacete, Hellín and Almansa manage their lots separately, so one office may update before another. To check whether your card is ready, always use the office connected with your application.
The resguardo from your fingerprint appointment contains several different numbers, and it is easy to confuse them. To check whether your TIE card is ready, you need to find the actual lot number.
For example, if your resguardo shows:
The number after N: is not the lot number. The format of the resguardo may vary slightly, but in this example you need to check lot 015.
Below are the offices in Albacete province shown on Form24 for checking lots and TIE-related procedures. Pay particular attention to the office if you completed your procedure in Hellín or Almansa rather than Albacete city.
NIE is your identification number as a foreign national in Spain. It is a personal number that can appear on different documents and be used for different procedures.
TIE is the physical card. If you are required to have a TIE, your NIE number also appears on the card.
Put simply: NIE is a number and TIE is a card. If you are waiting for your card after your fingerprint appointment, you need to check the lot connected with your TIE.
Select Albacete, choose the office connected with your application and enter your lot number. Form24 compares it with the latest available information for that office and shows whether your TIE card may already be ready to collect.
It depends on the office. The collection process may be different from one office to another, so before travelling, check the resguardo you received after your fingerprint appointment and the information for your office.
On Form24 you can also check the available information for your office and see whether a prior appointment - cita previa - is required to collect your TIE.
If you need an appointment, use the official website and select:
POLICIA - RECOGIDA DE TARJETA DE IDENTIDAD DE EXTRANJERO (TIE)
There is no single update pace for the whole province. The lot in Hellín may move forward while Albacete or Almansa has not updated yet, and the opposite can also happen. This is why another office's lot is not a reliable guide for your own card.
If your card is not ready yet, the Form24 calculator looks at the recent progress of lots at the selected office and estimates an approximate date when your card may be ready.
This is only an estimate, not an official collection date. It can give you a useful idea of how much longer you may need to wait.
AutoTrack does it for you. The system automatically tracks your lot number at the selected office. When your lot number is ready according to the latest available information, Form24 will notify you by e-mail and WhatsApp.
Form24 shows the latest available information about TIE lots. Sometimes an office or an official source may publish an update and later correct or change it.
If you need to make a special trip to collect your card, we do not recommend buying tickets or making significant expenses only because your lot appears as ready. Confirm the information with the relevant office first. The final confirmation is the actual collection of your card from the office.
It is normally shown on the resguardo from your fingerprint appointment. For example, if it says 2026/015, N: 150, the lot you need to check is 015, not 150.
No. If your procedure is connected with CNP ALMANSA, you need to check the lot for that office. Albacete, Hellín and Almansa manage their lots separately.
Because each office updates its own lots independently. If one office moves forward, this does not mean that the other offices in the province will update at the same time.
It depends on the office. Check your resguardo and the information for the relevant office first. If a cita previa is required, book your TIE card collection through the official website.
No. Form24 is an independent service for checking and tracking TIE lots. For official requirements about documents, appointments or TIE card collection, always check the information provided by the relevant office.
