Did you do that online Gerry? I couldn't find anyway of doing it.

Firsttango has explained how to do it in the main EU thread with the link to the form, I've followed his instructions and the whole process is very simple

[Wicksey]

I meant getting the appointment at the police station in Torre del Mar. (The link seems to be to the payment form which is also very useful.)

I got our appointments via this link:-

Thanks Gerry. I'll see how you get on first! Do you know what size photo as we have various ones taken for our recent driving licences, although I am smiling in mine so not sure if I can use that.

[gerryh]

Sorry, don't know the size of the photo.
We don't have any recent ones.
Going into the new, everything you need for your application, shop opposite the new police station as they will know the size.
I'll ask them if it is the same size as the driving licence ones.
Cheers
Gerry

Has the Police Station moved ? or is it still on N340 ? you refer to the New Station.
or is the one on N340 the new one, just that it's at least 12 years old

[spanish_lad]

Its up the road to the hospital isnt it? they moved January or so, but some old police cars are still outside the old one, just to confuse everyone

[gerryh]

Yes, it's moved.
Now at Calle Puerta del Mar, 4. Torre del Mar

Parking available nearby.

Hi Gerry
Which options in the drop down menus did you click into?

[gerryh]

Province first, selected Malaga in my case.
I see you live in Bilbao which is in Vizcaya (Biscay) province according to Google.
That province doesn't seem to appear in the first drop-down menu.
Cheers

A mate of mine went on Friday to Estepona Police, had an appointment, it was on time, took minutes, and they have to pick up the card in a month..

Thanks Gerry. I'll see how you get on first! Do you know what size photo as we have various ones taken for our recent driving licences, although I am smiling in mine so not sure if I can use that.

Had a look online and the size requirements etc. seem to be the same for a Spanish passport, driving licence and a TIE.
So if the photos you have were accepted for your driving licences then they should be acceptable for your TIEs.

Thanks Gerry,
It's Bizkaia for Vizcaya. No appointments available for July or August. I'm not sure why so I will try in a week or so again

[markwilding]

I got my appointment for next Friday
Another question
My wife tells me that it's not necessary to take photos any more as they take them there digitally. Is this correct or might this only be for Spanish citizens?

[gerryh]

We have had photos done in the shop opposite the police station.
I will let you know, after we have been for our appointments tomorrow, as to whether they take digital photos or ask us for photos.
I know for Spanish driving licence photos they take them digitally at the medical test session.
Cheers
Gerry

I don't quite agree Gerry. We had professional photos taken to go with the Driving License the photo in the medical centre is reproduced on the certificate and just ties the certificate to the individual. Certainly in our case.

[poppy1]

Can someone tell me which boxes to tick on the forms if I'm changing from the green credit card sized certificate to a T.I.E. I know it's the EX23 and Modelo790 012 for the tax, but a bit confused especially with the Modelo 790. Is there an example somewhere? I've lived in Spain, legally, for 15 years and will continue to do so indefinitely.
