Although it is not obligatory, both the British Embassy in Madrid and the Spanish authorities now strongly encourage UK nationals who have a green certificate, to exchange this for a TIE. The process is:
1. Book a ‘cita previa’ (appointment) at: https://sede.administracionespublicas.gob.es/…/index.html
2. Select your ‘provincia’
3. Select: ‘trámites cuerpo nacional de policía’ (if it is possible to choose)
4. Select: ‘Policia Exp. Tarjeta Asociada al Acuerdo Y Retirada Ciudadanos Británicos y sus Familiares (Brexit)’
Documentation you will need to present:
1. Form EX23
2. Valid passport. If your passport has expired, you must provide a copy of your passport and the renewal application
3. Proof of payment of fees (Model 790. Code 012)
4. One photograph that meets the Spanish national identity document regulations.
The Spanish authorities have recently opened up more appointments in Alicante, Benidorm and Torrevieja.
