Extranjería in the province of Zaragoza: which office does what

The NIE, the EU registration and the TIE are police work, done at the Brigada Provincial on Avda. de Valencia n.º 50, with the Comisaría de Calatayud also taking NIE and TIE requests. Work and family authorisations go to the Delegación del Gobierno's Oficina de Extranjería on Calle Obispo Covarrubias. Booking the right procedure in the right one is half of a smooth appointment.

01Brigada Provincial de Extranjería y Fronteras, Zaragoza

The main police unit for foreigners in the province sits at Avda. de Valencia n.º 50, 50005 Zaragoza, phone 976 791 495. Its listing on policia.es is the longest of the province, and it is the only police unit there that lists EU registration.

  • NIE certificates and assignment
  • Régimen comunitario: the certificado de registro UE, or green certificate
  • TIE issue, starting with the huellas appointment
  • Autorizaciones de regreso
  • Student procedures and extensions (prórrogas)
  • Non-lucrative residence, asylum, travel documents and cédulas

02Comisaría de Calatayud

West of the capital, the Calatayud police station at C/ Coral Bilbilitana n.º 8, 50300 Calatayud, lists a shorter set: letters of invitation, NIE certificates and assignment, TIE issue and nationality reports, the latter with the phone number 976 889 450. EU registration is not on its list.

For residents of the Calatayud area, that means the NIE and the TIE fingerprints can happen closer to home, while an EU citizen's registration certificate points back to the Brigada in Zaragoza. No opening hours are published for either.

03Oficina de Extranjería, Delegación del Gobierno

Authorisations are a separate track. The Delegación del Gobierno en Aragón runs its Oficina de Extranjería at Calle Obispo Covarrubias s/n, 50005 Zaragoza, phone 976 980 020: work permits, family reunification, arraigo, the card for relatives of EU citizens and appeals. Its winter hours run Monday to Thursday 09:00–17:30 and Friday 09:00–14:00; from 16 June to 15 September, weekdays 09:00–14:00.

The same page sends NIE, TIE, EU registration, residence certificates and invitation letters to the police Brigada and to a Unidad de Documentación de Extranjeros whose address it does not give, and which the police directory does not list.

In Zaragoza

Living between the two police units? Calatayud covers the NIE and the TIE for its area; Zaragoza covers everything on the police list, EU registration included. Both are booked through the same cita previa portal under the province of Zaragoza. In the city itself, the police at Avda. de Valencia n.º 50 and the Delegación's office on Calle Obispo Covarrubias share the 50005 postcode, so check which of the two your confirmation names.

Questions

Calatayud lists TIE issue among its procedures. Book under the province of Zaragoza and check which office your confirmation names.

Its police listing does not include régimen comunitario; that procedure appears under the Brigada Provincial in Zaragoza.

No. It belongs to the Delegación del Gobierno and decides on authorisations; the NIE and the TIE are police procedures.

The Delegación's page names it without an address, and the police directory does not list it. Go by your appointment confirmation.
