Málaga · Número de Identidad de Extranjero (NIE)
NIE offices in Málaga
8 offices in Málaga handle Número de Identidad de Extranjero (NIE), in Málaga, Antequera, Estepona, Fuengirola, Marbella, Ronda, Torremolinos and Vélez-Málaga. Not every police station in the province does — going to one that does not costs you the appointment, and the appointment is the part that takes weeks.

The Immigration Office in Málaga
Número de Identidad de Extranjero (NIE) is an authorisation, so it is decided at an Oficina de Extranjería under the Government Delegation — not at a police station. They are separate networks with separate appointment systems, and going to the wrong one is the most common wasted journey in Spanish immigration.
The ministry's page for Málaga does not name this procedure among the services it itemises for these offices. They are the province's Immigration Offices, which is where authorisations of this kind are decided, but ring ahead before travelling rather than relying on that.

Anything outside that list is where the offices differ, and each entry below says what its own office adds.

Before you travel to one of these
Almost all of these offices work by appointment only, booked through the electronic office of the public administration. Turning up without one generally means being turned away, however short the queue looks. Office assignments also change, so if what is here does not match what you are told on the phone, believe the phone and tell us.
