Las Palmas · Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE)

TIE card offices in Las Palmas

4 offices in Las Palmas handle Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE), in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Puerto del Rosario and Santa Lucía de Tirajana. 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 Las Palmas

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.

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.
