  • 2 copies of Modelo EX23 written or typed in black capitals
  • 3 copies of Modelo 790 012 (the TASA payment) (and be careful it prints bottom of the form – ‘copy for administrator’ should be last line.) It automatically prints 3 numbered copies.
  • Original and copy of appointment form (this pops up when you make an appointment)

To access this procedure, you must be the owner of one of the following documents:

  • Union Citizen Family Card (British or Northern Ireland).
  • Favorable resolution issued by the Immigration Offices of the Government Delegations / Sub-delegations. To verify if the file is in a ” Resolved favorable” status ( link below ).

The issuance of the Foreigner Identity Card (TIE) can only be carried out in the province of residence .

The appointment is personal , so a single appointment will not be accepted for different members of the family unit

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE ISSUANCE OF THE FOREIGNER IDENTITY CARD (TIE):

  • Application form model EX-23 (pdf) , duly completed and signed by the applicant or his legal representative (link below).

To book your appointment:

https://sede.administracionespublicas.gob.es/icpplus/index.html
On the first page choose Murcia as the province and press Aceptar

Second page –  Choose Oficina as shown below – leave the middle option Tramites Oficinas untouched and in the next drop-down box choose as highlighted below (the penultimate item)

Then press ACEPTAR

The next page headed

INTERNET CITA PREVIA

POLICÍA-EXP.TARJETA ASOCIADA AL ACUERDO DE RETIRADA CIUDADANOS BRITÁNICOS Y SUS FAMILIARES (BREXIT)

Tells you what documentation is needed – scroll to bottom and press ENTRAR

The next page you fill in your NIE number and your first name and surname i.e. FRED SMITH (if you have two surnames put them in)

PRESS ACEPTAR and choose SOLICITAR CITA
On the next page fill in your telephone/email and repeat email address

at bottom of page press SIGUIENTE  and the next page will show you available appointments – click on the one you prefer or if there are none, or you want a later day then click on CANCELAR and try another day.

From personal experience I would recommend an afternoon appointment, parking is hard in the morning and a lot of people have their interviews with gestors attending too.  In the afternoons there is hardly anyone around and I was on my way home before the official time of my interview.  You are advised to arrive half an hour early just in case there is a queue.

When you have made your appointment a confirmation page will pop up and you need to print this out and make a copy.

If you change your mind up to the day before the appointment it’s very straightforward to cancel and choose an alternative date or wait for another suitable day.

CHECK YOUR PRINTED COPIES – be careful it prints bottom of the form – ‘copy for administrator’ should be last line.

GOING TO THE POLICE STATION

Take the motorway to Murcia – you want to exit Junction 135 signed Molina De Segura, which is the junction before Ikea exit.

When you go around the roundabout which takes you on the N301 take the service road which runs alongside the N301.
The Police Station is on the right when you approach traffic lights.

There is no parking there so drive on about 3 buildings and look to your right where there is a cafe and an all-day car park. In the mornings there is a charge unless you spend a certain amount in the cafe.

The car park closes at around 2pm so this is why it’s good to have an afternoon appointment as more chance of getting in and it’s no charge.   Alternatively if you look to your left just before the filling station there are a few spaces and someone pointing them out who will no doubt expect a tip.

Walk round the the Police station and take the entrance by the right hand side of the building and the entry doors are just a little way along.   There is a screen just inside where you type in your NIE number and take a ticket – sometimes the police do it for you.
Your ticket tells you which area you are allocated (there are about 4 areas and all visible from the waiting hall). Your ticket will have a number e.g UK99 and you sit in the waiting hall until that number comes up on the screen and tells you which door to go through for your interview.   You don’t really need to say anything – just hand over your paperwork and have your fingerprints taken. At the end they will point out the web address and your lote number – just keep an eye on the web address and see when your lote number is ready and then you can make an appointment to go back to the same place and collect your TIE.

The web address to check lote numbers is: http://ouemurcia.cgsmurcia.org

you click on RECOGIDA DE TARJETAS: COMPRUEBE SU  LOTE  to see the lote numbers they are up to. (As I write this no new numbers have been added for 3 weeks but I assume the holiday period is affecting them.

and you can click on SOLICITE SU CITA PREVIA to make an appointment to collect your TIE

or click here:  https://sede.administracionespublicas.gob.es/icpplus/citar?p=30

choose as per screen shot below:

The rest is straightforward – choose a time and date –  take your passport, residencia and the paperwork they gave you with your lote number on.   Same entrance – wait for police to show you in and point you where to collect.   At the counter they will retain your residencia and give you the TIE CARD.

Spanish driving licence and test post Brexit2021-03-16T14:52:01+00:00
Translation of DGT (Spanish Department of Traffic) instructions for Driving Licences
 
For holders of a British driving licence who have requested the exchange, replacement or renewal before December 31, 2020, these will be processed as long as they have been verified by the United Kingdom authorities before January 1, 2021. Applications submitted after December 30, 2020 will not be processed.
 
If you did not request the exchange before December 31, 2020 you will have to obtain a new Spanish driving licence.
Obtaining a Spanish Driving Licence
 
The General Directorate of Traffic is the body in charge of issuing driving permits and licences in the Spanish State. Our goal is to ensure that drivers have the necessary skills to operate vehicles with the least possible risk.
 
We make sure, by taking exams, that you have the capability, knowledge and skills necessary to drive the vehicle in question.
 
There are different kinds of permits and licences depending on the category and the vehicle you need to drive: mopeds, motorcycles, cars, trucks, agricultural vehicles … each of them requires specific tests
 
To obtain a new permit, you must apply to take the tests. Although the usual practice is that you prepare for the exam in a driving school, you can also submit your application on your own. Once you have passed the aptitude tests, you will obtain your driving licence. During the preparation and presentation of the tests to obtain your driving license, you have at your disposal several procedures that may be useful to you.
 
As soon as you are approved, we will give you a provisional driving licence, with which you can drive until the final licence arrives. For this it is important to always keep your address updated with the Department of Traffic (DGT). You can verify and change it yourself online.
 
It should be noted that the practical part of the test has to be carried out in a Dual Control vehicle, which would usually involve enlisting with a driving school, the theory part of the test can be taken in English as long as notification is given before taking the test.

Exchanging Residencia for TIE2020-10-28T14:50:32+00:00
A personal experience using a Gestor:

I’ve just upgraded my thin green residence card to a TIE. Used Assesoria Zamora in town. They smooth the way very well. They arranged the CITA’s and did all the paperwork which they forwarded to the TH and to the CNP in Murcia.

I had a 09:45 appointment with the Padron but went early. The security guy put me in front of the queue and the lady at the Padron counter was very nice. At the CNP headquarters in Murcia you punch your NIE number in and I got a ticket marked with “UK” and a number. I noticed French people get tickets with F, Moroccans with M and so forth. It seems that various counters are reserved to handle various nationalities.

The guy I had was very nice but only spoke Spanish. Maybe this was because I spoke Spanish. I don’t know. In any event, he had the paperwork and photos forwarded by Zamora and all I had to do was to pass over my passport and green card and give digital prints of both forefingers. Took only 8 minutes comprising 3 minutes waiting and 5 minutes at desk.

You pay Zamora € 49 plus €12 for the complete process. Zamora will now arrange my CITA in 4 weeks time when I will return to the CNP hand over my green card and collect my digitised TIE.

Easy peasy in fact.

You can report lots of problems using the Línea Verde which links to the Town Hall. For example mosquitos, rubbish recycling, pests and much more.   You will get a response from their team of experts within 24 hrs.

Positive balance of a service that is used by neighbours to report flaws and share good environmental practices

The mobile application of the Línea Verde service allows the Mazarrón City Council to process about 2,000 incidents. The service is a direct channel from residents to the administration that allows the communication of defects as well as the use and maintenance of good environmental practices.

Línea Verde began its journey in 2013, having a very good reception among citizens. To date, 1,974 incidents have been reported. Of these, 79% have already been processed and the rest are in progress. The most reported incidents have to do with lighting, followed by those that have to do with sidewalks and driveways, parks and gardens, and urban solid waste.

Operation of Línea Verde

In order to use this new service, it is necessary to download the Línea Verde APP. To do this, the user accesses Google Play or APP Store depending on the technology used on their Smartphone (Android / iOS). Once located, the download is carried out for free. From that moment on, the user selects the municipality on which he wants to report the incident. The procedure is very quick and easy.

To report an incident, just click on the “Report your incident” button. A drop-down with the different types of incidents appears on the screen. The user selects the one about which he wants to communicate. Automatically, the APP detects the exact coordinates where the fault is located. The next step is to attach a photo of the incident and observation about it. Now all you have to do is hit the send button. Once sent, City Council staff receives notification of the reported damage. From this moment on, the procedures are started to solve the incident detected. The citizen, in turn, receives notification on his mobile phone whenever there is a change in the status of the same.

Through Línea Verde, the user can also raise any environmental query. Simply select the option “Make your query”. Within a maximum period of 24 hours you will have a response from a team of experts in the field completely free of charge.

How to renew your medical card2021-06-09T15:52:59+00:00

CURRENTLY IN COVID TIMES  TO RENEW YOUR CARD YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT VIA THE RECEPTIONIST AT CAMPOSOL HEALTH CENTRE OR AT MAZARRON HEALTH CENTRE

The info below is from normal pre-Covid times….

Your medical card cannot be renewed until after the expiry date.  For example if it expires end of April then you can renew first opportunity in May.

The days for renewal at Mazarron Health Centre in July are Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays

Tuesday 8.30 to 10.45 – (No tickets, ask who is last in queue).

Wednesday and Friday
8.30 till 10.00
– (no tickets, ask who is last in the queue),
or 10.30 till 12.30 (take a ticket –
 tickets are put up on door 30 at 10 am and the official issuing the cards goes for his break and starts seeing people in order of their tickets from 10.30 up to 12.30.

Room 30 is up the stairs – then turn left and left again.

You will need:

  • Up to date Padron (at time of posting under 2 years old)
  • Passport
  • Your expired card – they will issue you with a temporary piece of paper which says valid for 3 months.
    This is HOW you are meant to complete the procedure for collecting your medical card in Mazarron Health Centre:

    The date written on your temporary piece of paper is the date you are meant to start asking at Camposol Health Centre To see IF your card has arrived in Mazarron yet. It is NOT the date you are meant to go down and ask him in the office if it is there.
    Once you have been told at the desk that your card is in Mazarron, You can go and collect it. You do not need an appointment or a ticket to do so. The man dealing with this would like people to collect on Wednesdays as he is there every Wednesday from 8.30 until 12.30 ish, (but does have a break about 10). A lot of people are going down there on the date of their temporary paper and wasting their own time hanging about and his time trying to explain etc. So please check at the desk at your surgery first to see if it is there, and once you have been told it is, then go and collect.
    At the moment they are taking about 2.5-3 months, but this will likely get worse the closer we get into the summer.
    Debbie Shaw – translator/interpreter on Camposo also has a collection service for these cards.

What are Tiger mosquitoes?2019-08-20T14:53:20+00:00

About Tiger Mosquitos


The Region of Murcia is intensifying its campaign against the proliferation of Tiger Mosquitos which are more aggressive than their “Common mosquito” cousins and have been identified as being responsible for transmitting zika, dengue and chikungunya fevers, the Tiger mosquito bite is more painful than the Common variety and the effects can linger for up to 2 weeks or even more, although the regional municipalities including Mazarrón Council have been treating and spraying public roads and areas, the Regional Director General for Public Health, José Carlos Vicente, announced that research and sampling by the entomology department has established that 80% of Tiger mosquito breeding grounds are situated on private property so home and landowners need to be vigilant and take measures to reduce or eradicate potential breeding sites by eliminating even small accumulations on water.

About Tiger Mosquitos
The Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) took up residence in the Murcia region around 2010 and is a small black and white mosquito, about 6 mm long. The name “tiger mosquito” comes from its white and black colour pattern, it has a white stripe running down the centre of its head and back with white bands on the legs.
These mosquitoes lay their eggs in water-filled natural and artificial containers like water deposits, ponds, untreated/abandoned swimming pools, garden pots, buckets, even old tyres, they do not lay their eggs in ditches or marshes. The Asian tiger mosquito usually does not fly more than about 1 km from its breeding site.

Life Cycle and Habits
The wormlike mosquito larvae swim with a wriggling motion, about 10 days after hatching, the larvae are about 6 mm long and completely grown they then change into comma-shaped pupae, the pupa stage completes their development into adult mosquitoes. When fully developed, an adult mosquito will emerge from each pupa at the water surface, adult mosquitoes emerge from pupae in as little as 10 to 14 days after the eggs hatch during the summer, after emerging from the pupa an adult tiger mosquito’s life span is around 3 weeks.
Asian tiger mosquitoes spend the winter in the egg stage, hatching into larvae when the eggs are covered with water in the spring and summer, the larvae feed on small bits of debris and bacteria in the water.
Male mosquitoes feed on plant juices and do not bite, female mosquitoes seek blood to help their eggs develop, unlike the Common mosquito, the Asian tiger also feeds during daylight hours, as well as at night. As with other mosquitoes, Asian tiger mosquitoes are attracted to dark clothing, perspiration, carbon dioxide and certain other odours. The mosquito will bite cats, dogs, cattle and other animals as well as people. About four or five days after feeding on blood, the female mosquito lays her eggs on or just above the surface of the water, once submerged in water, the larvae hatch.

Prevention and Control
You can and should try to reduce the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes:
Minimize time spent outdoors between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
Be sure door and window screens fit tightly and are in good repair.
Wear shoes, socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt when outdoors for long periods of time and when mosquitoes are most active, clothing should be light coloured and made of tightly woven materials to keep mosquitoes away from the skin.

When it is necessary to be outdoors, apply insect repellent as indicated on the product’s label, apply to clothes when possible and sparingly to exposed skin if the label permits, consult a physician before using repellents on young children.

Indoor “Plug in” devices using liquid or tablets are widely available.
Spraying your garden with an insecticidal fog or mist is effective only for a short time, mosquitoes will return when the spray dissipates.

Mazarrón Council have employed a Mosquito Cannon (space spraying from specially equipped vehicles) this provides little control in private properties and this method is generally only effective when atmospheric conditions permit, you can however greatly reduce the number of tiger mosquitoes in your area by getting rid of breeding places:-

Remove any water-filled containers like food containers, drums, pots and buckets from your garden and terraces.
Keep mosquitoes from breeding in bird baths, pet water dishes and paddling pools by emptying, rinsing and replenishing them at least once a week.
Roof gutters should be kept clean of fallen leaves and other debris so that water does not collect in them.
Homeowners and residents should work together to eliminate breeding sites like abandoned cars, building materials, drums and other junk in vacant properties.
Report abandoned or untreated swimming pools, discarded tyres or other accumulations of water-holding junk to Mazarrón Council by calling in at the Town Hall and filling in a Solicitud genérica, Modelo 001 form or online using the Linea Verde link below, other infestations rats (ratas) cockroaches (cucurachas) etc can also be reported online via Linea Verde

These measures will also help control other mosquitoes.
