TIE Lot in Barcelona - Check the Lot for Your Office

TIE lot in Barcelona

After giving your fingerprints, the waiting begins. In Barcelona, there is one important thing to know from the start: there is no single lot number for the whole province. Each office receives its cards separately. This means Badalona, Sabadell, Terrassa, Mataró, Santa Coloma, L'Hospitalet or Rambla Guipuscoa can be working with very different numbers, even when fingerprints were taken around the same time. First check which office appears on your receipt, then find the lot number. If it shows 2026/015, N: 150, the number you need is 015. The number after N: is not your lot.

Lot numbers do not move at the same speed every week. Several groups of cards may arrive close together, followed by a longer period with no changes. If someone else has already collected their TIE, it does not necessarily mean your card is delayed. They may have given fingerprints at another office and be following a different lot. Once you know the correct office and number, you can check the progress of your card. When your lot is ready, also check the collection rules, because some offices require an appointment while others use a different system.

Form24 brings information from Barcelona province offices together in one place, so you do not have to search for every police office separately. If you prefer not to check the same number every day, you can use AutoTrack and receive a notification when your lot number is ready.

Check your TIE and prepare for collection

Your NIE is your identification number, while the TIE is the physical card you are waiting for after giving fingerprints. To check whether the card may already be ready, use your office and lot number on the TIE status page. If your number has not been reached yet, the TIE calculator can give you an approximate date based on recent changes at that office. It is only a guide, not an official collection date.

Before travelling, check your receipt and the instructions from the office where you gave your fingerprints. Barcelona province offices do not all use the same collection system. If an appointment is required, the official procedure is POLICIA - RECOGIDA DE TARJETA DE IDENTIDAD DE EXTRANJERO (TIE), and it can be booked through the official appointment website.

If you prefer not to check the lot every day

With AutoTrack, you enter your office and lot number once. After that, we follow the changes for you. We will notify you when your lot number is ready.

If you need to travel to collect the card

If you live far from the office, first confirm that the card can actually be collected and only then arrange the journey. Lot information can sometimes be corrected, and collection does not always begin immediately after the published number changes. Form24 shows the available information and is an independent service, not a Police website.
