Finding the Extranjería lot in Murcia may seem simple until you realise that different offices can manage different numbers. Murcia capital, Cartagena, Lorca, Molina de Segura and Yecla may receive TIE cards at different times and update their lots independently. Before comparing any number, first make sure you know which office is linked to your procedure.
Check the resguardo you received after your fingerprints were taken. It contains several details, and it is easy to confuse them. If, for example, it shows 2026/015, N: 150, the lot you need to check is 015. The number after N: refers to something else and is not the lot number for your TIE card.
You should not use another person's case as a reference simply because their fingerprints were taken around the same date. If your procedure is linked to Cartagena and theirs to Murcia capital, the two lots may move differently. The same applies to Lorca, Molina de Segura and Yecla.
Lots do not follow a fixed update schedule. A number may change several times within a few days and then remain unchanged for a while. That alone does not mean there is a problem with your TIE card. What matters is following the correct office and checking the information again before travelling.
Form24 brings together information from Murcia offices in one place. You can select your office and check the relevant lot without mixing data from different cities. If you prefer not to check every day, AutoTrack can notify you when your lot number is ready.
Always select the office linked to your own procedure. A lot from one police station does not show whether a TIE card processed at another office is ready.
NIE is your identification number as a foreign national in Spain, while the TIE card is the physical document issued after the procedure. Many people search for phrases such as NIE lot Murcia, but after fingerprints what is actually checked is the lot linked to the arrival of the physical TIE card.
If your fingerprints have already been taken, you can check whether your TIE card may be ready on the TIE card status page. If your number has not been reached yet, the TIE card calculator can give you an approximate estimate based on recent movement at your office. It is a guide, not an official collection date.
If your procedure is linked to OFICINA DE EXTRANJEROS, Ctra Nacional 301, KM.388, 0, Murcia, check the lot for this office. Do not use the numbers from Cartagena, Lorca, Molina de Segura or Yecla as a reference, because new TIE cards may arrive there on different dates.
If your fingerprints were taken at CNP CARTAGENA, Menendez y Pelayo 6, you need to follow the Cartagena lot. The Murcia capital lot should not be used to estimate whether a TIE card processed in Cartagena may be ready, because the two offices update independently.
Lorca, Molina de Segura and Yecla may also manage their own lots. If your resguardo shows CNP LORCA, CNP MOLINA DE SEGURA or CNP YECLA, check only the information for that office. An update in Murcia or Cartagena does not mean that the lot for your police station has changed.
When the lot reaches your number, check the collection rules for the office shown on your resguardo. Police stations in the Region of Murcia may work differently, and some may require an appointment for collection.
As a general rule, the TIE card must be collected personally by its holder. Collection takes place in person at the relevant office, so you should not expect another person to be able to collect the card on your behalf.
If the child is 6 years old or older, they must attend in person to collect their TIE card, accompanied by their legal representative where required. If the child is under 6 years old, the card may be collected by the father, mother, legal guardian or a person duly authorised by them.
To collect your TIE card, you normally need to bring:
Depending on the office, you may also need an appointment. If your police station requires one, look for POLICIA - RECOGIDA DE TARJETA DE IDENTIDAD DE EXTRANJERO (TIE) on the official Extranjería appointment website. Before travelling, always check the instructions for the office where you will collect your card.
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 publish an incorrect number and correct it later.

If the trip involves significant expense, confirm the information first and organise your travel afterwards. Lot information can be corrected, and actual TIE card collection does not always begin immediately when the published number changes. Avoid buying tickets or booking accommodation based on a single update. Form24 shows the available information and is an independent service, not connected to the Police.
