Almería · Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE)
TIE card offices in Almería
2 offices in Almería handle Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE), in El Ejido and Almería. 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 Almería
Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE) 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 Almería 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.

Which of them to choose
Almería has 3 offices dealing with immigration matters, of which 2 handle Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE). The widest range is at Oficina de Extranjería - Expedición de Documentos, in Almería, which lists 8 services.
All 2 of them handle the same core set, so for these you can simply go to whichever is nearest:
- EU registration certificates
- NIE numbers and certificates
- Letters of invitation
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.
