POLICIA - RECOGIDA DE TARJETA DE IDENTIDAD DE EXTRANJERO (TIE)
IMPORTANT: Before booking an appointment to collect your card, you must MAKE SURE that it is already at the Documentation Unit where it was issued.
To do this, check that the batch number associated with your card (data that appears on the collection receipt) is equal to or lower than the batch number indicated by the selected office. The appointment is personal, so a single appointment will not be accepted for different members of the family unit.
Collection of the TIE will be carried out exclusively by its holder. In the case of minors under 6 years of age, fingerprint verification is not necessary to collect the TIE, so the person holding legal representation or empowerment may attend, without the minor.
For minors aged 6 and over and persons with judicially complemented capacity, their fingerprint must be verified at the time of delivery. Therefore, they must be present at the office at the time of collecting the TIE, together with the person holding their legal representation or empowerment.
The documents that must be presented to prove the relationship with the minor are: Original valid identity documents, in all cases. Minor born in Spain: Family Book or birth certificate from the Civil Registry, or court ruling of guardianship.
Minor born abroad: Birth certificate or guardianship documents of the minor, translated (as needed) and legalised, either with the Hague Apostille or via diplomatic channels. To prove empowerment: Notarial power of attorney issued in Spain.
Notarial power of attorney made outside Spain, translated (as needed) and legalised, either with the Hague Apostille or via diplomatic channels. Minor student with an SME visa: Must be accompanied solely by the person who appears in the Government Delegation report, duly accredited and with original valid identity documentation.
Minors under guardianship: Must be accompanied by a person responsible for the guardianship centre who will show their original valid identity document and the official guardianship documents. To collect the TIE, the issuance receipt and the document proving the identity of the foreign cardholder, original and valid, will be necessary.
The documents that may be presented to prove identity are: Passport of your country. Registration certificate for undocumented foreigners issued by the Spanish authorities.
Travel document, validly issued and recognised by Spain. At the time of collecting the newly issued TIE, the citizen must hand over their previous card (whether expired or still valid), or failing that, present the original police report of loss or theft.
Likewise, you are informed that the card will not be delivered if, at the time of collection, it has already expired.

IMPORTANTE: Antes de reservar cita para recoger su tarjeta, debe ASEGURARSE que la misma ya se encuentra en la Unidad de Documentación donde se ha llevado a cabo la expedición. Para ello compruebe que el número de lote asociado a su tarjeta (dato que figura en el resguardo de recogida), es igual o inferior al número de lote indicado por la oficina seleccionada.
La cita es personal, por lo que no se aceptará una sola cita para diferentes miembros de la unidad familiar.
La recogida de la TIE se llevará a cabo exclusivamente por el titular de la misma. En el caso de los menores de 6 años, no es necesaria la verificación de la huella dactilar para la recogida de la TIE, por lo que podrá acudir la persona que ostente la representación legal o apoderado, sin el menor. Para los menores de edad a partir de los 6 años y personas con capacidad judicialmente complementada, debe ser verificada su huella dactilar a la hora de la entrega. Por tanto, deberán estar presentes en la oficina en el momento de la recogida de la TIE, junto con la persona que ostente su representación legal o apoderamiento.
Los documentos que deberán ser presentados para acreditar la relación con el menor son:
• Documentos de identidad originales y en vigor, en todo caso.
• Menor nacido en España. Libro de Familia o certificado de nacimiento del Registro Civil, o sentencia judicial de la tutela.
• Menor nacido en el extranjero. Partida de nacimiento o documentos de la tutela del menor traducidos (según necesidad) y legalizados, bien con Apostilla de la Haya o vía diplomática.
• Para acreditar el apoderamiento:
• Poder notarial expedido en España.
• Poder notarial realizado fuera de España, traducido (según necesidad) y legalizado, bien con Apostilla de la Haya o a través de la vía diplomática.
Menor estudiante con visado SME
Deberá venir acompañado, únicamente, por la persona que aparece en el informe de la Delegación del Gobierno, debidamente acreditada y con su documentación de identidad original y en vigor.
Menores tutelados
Deberán venir acompañados de una persona responsable del centro de tutela quién exhibirá su documento de identidad original y en vigor, y los documentos oficiales de la tutela.
Para la recogida de la TIE será necesario el resguardo de expedición y el documento acreditativo de la identidad del ciudadano extranjero titular de la tarjeta, original y en vigor. Los documentos que pueden ser presentados para acreditar la identidad son:
• Pasaporte de su país.
• Cédula de inscripción de extranjeros indocumentados expedida por las autoridades españolas.
• Título de viaje, válidamente expedido y reconocido por España.
En el momento de la recogida de la nueva TIE expedida, el ciudadano deberá hacer entrega de su tarjeta anterior (bien se encuentre caducada o aún en estado vigente), o en su defecto presentar la denuncia original de pérdida o sustracción. Asimismo, se informa de que la tarjeta no será entregada si en el momento de la recogida, la misma ya se encuentra caducada.
