Question
Question about TIE appointment. If I reside in one city, can I attend a different city within the Madrid region for the TIE appointment and fingerprinting?
Answers
These are the answers of Spainguru’s Facebook group members:
“Anywhere in the province is fine.”
“LA EXPEDICIÓN DE TARJETA DE IDENTIDAD DE EXTRANJERO (T.I.E.) SÓLO PODRÁ SER REALIZADA EN LA PROVINCIA DE RESIDENCIA.” (“THE ISSUANCE OF A FOREIGN IDENTITY CARD (T.I.E.) MAY ONLY BE CARRIED OUT IN THE PROVINCE OF RESIDENCE.”)
“Where you go onto the website to book your appointment after you have put your area in it will give you all the options of where you can book an appointment. Press on acceder al procedimiento then choose your province.”
Conclusion
For those applying for the TIE (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero) in Spain, it is required that you attend the appointment within your province of residence. While you may have several location options within your province, attending an appointment outside of this area is not permissible according to the official regulations.
It’s advisable to consult the official government website to choose the location that best suits your logistical needs within your registered province.
