Posteriormente, realiza el pago de la tasa en Bancos, Cajas de Ahorro y Cooperativas de Crédito.
Paso 3. Entrega de la documentación.
Existen diferentes alternativas en función de la situación en la que se encuentre el solicitante, si bien todas ellas requieren que el trámite se realice presencialmente.
- Presentar la solicitud personalmente en España, en las Oficinas de Extranjería o Comisarías de policía, solicitando previamente una cita previa de extranjería. Si el trámite lo va a realizar la misma persona extranjera, es necesario contar con un certificado digital.
- Presentar la solicitud a través de un representante en España.
En el caso de que el interesado no se encuentre en territorio español en el momento de la solicitud, solicitará la asignación de NIE a la Comisaría General de Extranjería y Fronteras a través de las Oficinas Consulares de España en el exterior.
Paso 4. Notificación.
El procedimiento habrá de ser resuelto en el plazo máximo de cinco días desde la entrada de la solicitud en el registro del órgano competente para su tramitación.
According to art. 210.9 of RD 557/2011 of April 20, which approves the Regulation of Organic Law 4/2000 on the rights and freedoms of foreigners in Spain and their social integration, the loss, destruction, or rendering unusable of the Foreigner Identity Card will lead to the issuance of a new card at the request of the interested party.
This will not be considered a renewal and will be valid for the remaining period until the expiration of the replaced card. If the request for the new card is made within the renewal period of the authorization, the procedures will be processed jointly and consistently.
The card must always be collected at the same Documentation Unit where it was issued.
Appointments are personal; you must schedule an appointment for each family member.
Art. 210.7 of RD 557/2011 of April 20, which approves the Regulation of Organic Law 4/2000 on the rights and freedoms of foreigners in Spain and their social integration, establishes that the Foreigner Identity Card will have the same validity period as the authorization or recognition of the right justifying its issuance. It loses validity when the mentioned authorization expires for any reasons established in its applicable regulations or, if applicable, the loss of the right to stay in Spanish territory.
You must request the refund at the Documentation Unit where you applied for your card.
The collection will always be carried out by the holder of the TIE, unless it is a citizen under 6 years old. In this case, it can be collected by the person holding parental authority (FATHER or MOTHER) or legal guardianship, or a person authorized by them, duly accredited.
Whenever the card is lost or stolen, even if it is expired, you must file the corresponding report, which you must provide when applying for the new card.
