Check the Extranjería lot in Alicante
If you are waiting for your TIE card in Alicante, check the Extranjería lot for the office where your fingerprints were taken. Alicante, Benidorm, Torrevieja, Elche, Denia, Alcoy, Elda and Orihuela may manage their lots separately, so make sure you select the correct office.
After your fingerprint appointment, the same question usually comes up: how much longer will it take for the TIE card to arrive? There is no single lot for the whole province of Alicante. Each office receives TIE cards separately, so lot numbers may move at different speeds. Comparing your lot with another office is not useful.
First check where your fingerprints were taken, then look at the resguardo you received that day. The document contains several numbers, and they are easy to confuse. If it says 2026/015, N: 150, the lot you need to check is 015. With that number and the correct office, you can follow the arrival of your TIE card.
Lots do not follow a fixed schedule. Sometimes several batches of TIE cards arrive within a few days and then there may be no changes for weeks. This is why an exact date cannot be known in advance. It is more useful to follow the latest updates from your own office.
Form24 brings together information from offices across the province of Alicante so you do not have to search for each one separately. If you do not want to check the same number every day, you can activate AutoTrack and receive a notification when your lot number is ready.

NIE, TIE card and how to check whether your card may be ready
NIE and TIE card are not the same thing. NIE is your identification number as a foreign national in Spain. The TIE card is the physical document you are waiting for after your fingerprints have been taken. Once you have completed this step, you need to follow the lot for the office handling your application.
You can check whether your TIE card may already be ready on the TIE card status page. If your number has not been reached yet, the TIE card calculator gives an estimate based on recent movement at that office. It is a guide, not an official collection date.
Extranjería lot in Benidorm
If your fingerprints were taken in Benidorm, check the lot for CNP Benidorm TIE. Do not use the Alicante city lot as a reference, because Benidorm receives TIE cards and updates its information separately.
Extranjería lot in Torrevieja
If your application is linked to CNP Torrevieja, check the lot for this office. Torrevieja may move at a different pace from Alicante, Benidorm or Elche, so their numbers do not show whether your TIE card is ready.
Before you go to collect your TIE card
Before travelling, check your resguardo and the rules for your office. Collection conditions can differ between offices in the province of Alicante. If you need an appointment, the official procedure is POLICIA - RECOGIDA DE TARJETA DE IDENTIDAD DE EXTRANJERO (TIE). You can book it on the official appointment website.
You do not need to check the lot every day
With AutoTrack, you only need to enter your office and lot number once. Form24 then follows the updates automatically. We will notify you when your lot number is ready.
After receiving the notification, check the lot on Form24 once more before travelling to collect your TIE card. Extranjería may occasionally publish an incorrect number and correct it later.

Frequently asked questions about the Extranjería lot in Alicante
Short answers about lot numbers, offices and TIE card collection in the province of Alicante.
Where can I check the Extranjería lot for Alicante?
On Form24, select the office where your fingerprints were taken and check the number from your resguardo. Alicante, Benidorm, Torrevieja, Elche and the other offices may have different lots.
How can I tell if my TIE card is ready in Alicante?
Compare your lot number with the latest information for your office. If the published lot has reached or passed your number, your TIE card may be ready. Check the information again before travelling.
Is there one lot for the whole province of Alicante?
No. Alicante, Benidorm, Torrevieja, Elche, Denia, Alcoy, Elda and Orihuela may manage their lots separately. A number from another town does not show whether your TIE card is ready at the office where your application was processed.
Where can I find the lot number for my TIE card?
Check the resguardo you received after your fingerprints were taken. If it says 2026/015, N: 150, the lot number you need to check is 015. The number after N: refers to something else.
How long does a TIE card take after fingerprints in Alicante?
There is no single waiting time for the whole province. TIE cards do not arrive at all offices at the same time. Sometimes the lot moves several times within a few days and then stays unchanged for a while. It is more useful to follow updates from your own office.
My fingerprints were taken in Benidorm. Can I check the Alicante lot?
No. If your application is linked to CNP Benidorm TIE, you need to check the Benidorm lot. The Alicante lot does not show whether TIE cards in Benidorm are ready.
Where can I check the Extranjería lot for Torrevieja?
If your fingerprints were taken in Torrevieja, select CNP Torrevieja. This office has its own lot, so there is no need to compare it with Alicante, Benidorm or Elche.
What does it mean if my number is lower than the published lot?
Your TIE card may already be ready. However, it is better not to travel based on a single update. Extranjería may publish an incorrect lot number and correct it later, so check the information again before you go.
Do I need an appointment to collect my TIE card in Alicante?
It depends on the office. At some offices you can collect your TIE card without an appointment, while others require one. Check your resguardo and the instructions for your office. If an appointment is required, look for POLICIA - RECOGIDA DE TARJETA DE IDENTIDAD DE EXTRANJERO (TIE).
Why has the lot not changed for several days?
This is normal. TIE cards arrive in batches rather than one by one every day. If the number stays the same for several days, this does not by itself mean there is a problem with your TIE card.
Can I stop checking the lot every day?
Yes. With AutoTrack, you only need to enter your office and lot number once. Form24 will then follow the updates. We will notify you when your lot number is ready.
After receiving the AutoTrack notification, check the latest number on Form24 once more before travelling to collect your TIE card. Extranjería may occasionally correct a lot after it has been published.
Is Form24 part of Policía Nacional or Extranjería?
No. Form24 is an independent service for checking and following TIE card lots. Official rules on documents, appointments and TIE card collection are set by the relevant authority and each office.
If you need to travel to collect your TIE card
If the trip involves significant expense, confirm the information first and only then buy tickets or book accommodation. Lot information can be corrected, and in some cases there may be a delay between the lot update and the actual start of TIE card collection. Form24 shows the available information and is an independent service, not connected to the Police.
