In Valencia, there is one detail worth understanding from the start: the office where your fingerprints were taken determines which lot you need to follow and, in some cases, where you will later collect your TIE card. Alzira, Ontinyent, Sagunto, Gandia and the offices in Valencia city manage their lots separately, so movement at one police station does not mean the others have received new cards as well.
First, check the resguardo you received after your fingerprints were taken. It contains several details, and it is easy to focus on the wrong number. If, for example, it shows 2026/015, N: 150, the lot you need to check is 015. The value after N: refers to something else and is not the lot number for your TIE card.
Valencia city also has an important local detail: if your fingerprints were taken at Patraix, Gremis 6, the finished TIE card is collected at Marítimo, Ernesto Anastasio 60. This means the collection point is not always the same place where you started the procedure.
Lots do not follow a fixed update schedule either. One office 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 lot for the office linked to your own procedure.
Form24 brings together information from Valencia offices in one place, so you do not need to compare numbers from different police stations. If you prefer not to check the lot every day, you can activate AutoTrack and receive a notification when your lot number is ready.
Find the office linked to your procedure before checking the lot. In Valencia, it is especially important to distinguish between the police station where your fingerprints were taken and, where applicable, the office where the finished TIE card must be collected.
If your fingerprints were taken at CNP COMISARIA PATRAIX EXTRANJERIA, Gremis 6, the finished TIE card is collected at CNP COMISARÍA DE MARÍTIMO EXTRANJERÍA, Ernesto Anastasio 60. In this case, the place where the procedure starts and the collection point are different.
NIE is your identification number as a foreign national in Spain, while the TIE card is the physical document. You can check whether your TIE card may already be ready on the TIE card status page. If your lot has not reached your number yet, the TIE card calculator can give you an estimate based on recent movement at that office. It is only a guide, not an official collection date.
When the lot reaches your number, check the collection rules for the office that applies to your case. Conditions may vary between police stations. If your fingerprints were taken in Patraix, remember that the finished TIE card is collected at Marítimo, Ernesto Anastasio 60.
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 occasionally publish an incorrect number and correct it later.
Short answers about lot numbers and TIE card offices in Valencia.
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. If your fingerprints were taken in Patraix, also remember that your card must be collected in Marítimo, Ernesto Anastasio 60. Form24 shows the available information and is an independent service, not connected to the Police.
