Why Solmara
Biometrics and Card Collection
Securing the physical TIE involves two separate visits to the authorities, and we help you with the timing of both. We book your fingerprinting appointment as soon as you can and prepare the final documents you need to present. Once the card is being made, we track the timeline and schedule your return visit for the final appointment. This structured approach ensures that you receive your official ID card without unnecessary trips to the police station, because in some cases it can be challenging with the Spain bureaucracy system.
