Children's residence offices in Las Palmas

The Immigration Office in Las Palmas

Residencia temporal del menor extranjero acompañado, nacido o no nacido en España 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.
