If you have already completed your fingerprints for your TIE card in the Region of Murcia, you can check the progress of your lot here. The lot number is normally shown on the resguardo you received after your fingerprint appointment. It may also appear as lote TIE or lote de Extranjería.
Do not use the lot from another city as a reference. Each office manages its own lots separately, so Cartagena, Lorca, Molina de Segura, Yecla and Murcia may move at different speeds. To check your card, always select 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 the Region of Murcia shown on Form24 for checking lots and TIE-related procedures. Make sure you choose the office connected with your application, because the lot from one office cannot be used as a reference for another.
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 Murcia, 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 procedure is not exactly the same everywhere. Before you go, 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)
Waiting times can be different from one office to another. Cartagena may move at one pace, while Lorca, Molina de Segura, Yecla or Murcia may move at another. This is why comparing your lot with a different office can give you the wrong idea of how much longer you need to wait.
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 is useful as a general guide to 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.
You can view it, but it will not tell you whether your own card is ready. Each office manages its lots separately, so you need to check the office connected with your application.
One common reason is that the cards belong to different offices or different lots. Even if both people completed the process in the Region of Murcia, their cards do not necessarily become ready on the same day.
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.
