If you are waiting for your TIE card in Barcelona, check the Extranjería lot for the office where your fingerprints were taken. There are many offices across the province, and each one may manage its lots separately. Badalona, Sabadell, Terrassa, Mataró, Santa Coloma, L'Hospitalet, Rambla Guipuscoa and other offices do not have to move at the same pace.
This is why knowing that someone else has already collected a TIE card does not tell you when yours will be ready. First, identify the exact office where your fingerprints were taken. Check the resguardo for the office name or address before looking at any lot number.
The same document contains several numbers, and they can be easy to confuse. If, for example, you see 2026/015, N: 150, the lot number you need to follow is 015. The value after N: refers to something else. Once you have the correct number, compare it only with the lot published for your own office.
Lots do not follow a fixed update schedule either. A number may move several times within a few days and then remain unchanged for a while. That is normal. It is more useful to follow your own office and check the information again before travelling to collect your TIE card.
Form24 brings together information from Barcelona offices in one place so you can follow the office that applies to you. 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.
Always use the office shown on your resguardo. In a province with so many locations, a similar address or the name of a nearby town can easily lead you to the wrong lot.
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 receive after the procedure. If your fingerprints have already been taken and you are waiting for your TIE card, follow the lot for the office shown on your resguardo.
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 can give you an estimate based on recent movement at that office. It is a guide, not an official collection date.
If your application is linked to CNP RAMBLA GUIPUSCOA 74, check the lot for that office. Do not use numbers from Badalona, L'Hospitalet, Santa Coloma, Sant Adrià or other offices as a reference, because each location may receive TIE cards and update its lots at different times.
When the lot reaches your number, check the collection rules for the office shown on your resguardo. Conditions can vary between police stations, so do not assume that every office works in the same way.
To collect your TIE card, you normally need to bring:
Depending on the office, you may also need an appointment. If your office requires one, look for POLICIA - RECOGIDA DE TARJETA DE IDENTIDAD DE EXTRANJERO (TIE) on the official Extranjería appointment website. Check the instructions for your office before travelling.
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.
Short answers about lot numbers and TIE card offices in Barcelona.
If the trip involves significant expense, confirm the information first and only then buy tickets or book accommodation. Lot information can be corrected, and there may be a delay between a lot update and the actual start of TIE card collection. Do not plan an expensive trip based on a single update. Form24 shows the available information and is an independent service, not connected to the Police.
