Huellas TIE Valladolid: the residence card of non-EU residents

Your fingerprints for the TIE are taken at the police brigade on C/ Gerona s/n, or at the Comisaría de Medina del Campo, once you have booked the toma de huellas for the province, with your signed EX-17, passport and visa, one photo and the 790-012 receipt in the folder; a second visit collects the card. That card is the TIE, the Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero of foreign residents: with your photograph, NIE and type of residence on it, it proves a visa or authorisation you already hold.

After

What you hold at the end

A resguardo on the day, then the card itself, with your photograph and NIE.

Where you stand before booking

On its own the TIE grants nothing. It records a permission you already hold: a visa in your passport for a stay of over six months, or a favourable resolución (written decision) on an authorisation granted in Spain, by the Oficina de Extranjería on Calle Arzobispo José Delicado for example. Holding one of those, you can book the fingerprints. Married to a European? Your card for a European’s relative goes through its own form, the EX-19, before the police make it.

The fingerprint appointment

In the cita previa for Valladolid, choose the fingerprinting procedure for issuing a card (toma de huellas, expedición de tarjeta). policia.es puts TIE issue (“expedición TIE”) under the brigade on C/ Gerona s/n and, in the south of the province, under the Comisaría de Medina del Campo. There an officer goes through your papers, records your fingerprints and hands you a resguardo: keep this slip, which proves the card is in production.

Pay the 790-012 fee form first, and ask your town hall for a volante from the padrón: both go in the folder below.

The second visit, for the card

A few weeks on, the card is ready. Picking it up is a step of its own, and some offices want a separate appointment for it. Take the resguardo and your passport, and look the card over at the counter: name, NIE, dates and type of residence should all be right before you go.

Renewing, replacing, travelling

Renewal is requested while the authorisation behind the card is still running; when it is granted, you book fingerprints again for the new card. A card that is lost or stolen is reported to the police, and a duplicate requested. To travel while either is pending, read our page on the autorización de regreso.

Questions on The TIE card

Huellas TIE Valladolid: where are they taken?

policia.es places TIE issue at the brigade on C/ Gerona s/n (983 456 553) and at the Comisaría de Medina del Campo (983 812 645). Your own booking confirmation shows the office.

Can I start a job before the card is ready?

What lets you work is the visa or authorisation, not the plastic. If yours includes work, there is no need to wait for the card.

My visa covers a course of four months. Do I need a TIE?

No. Cards are for stays of over six months; a shorter visa is enough on its own.

I am married to an EU citizen. Is this my card?

Yours is requested on a different form, the EX-19. See our page on the family-member card.
