TIE card offices in Lleida

The Immigration Office in Lleida

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 Lleida 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

Lleida has 4 offices dealing with immigration matters, of which 2 handle Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE). The widest range is at Brigada Provincial de Extranjería y Fronteras de Lleida, in Lleida, which lists 9 services.

All 2 of them handle the same core set, so for these you can simply go to whichever is nearest:

• NIE numbers and certificates
• Nationality reports

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