Incorrect TIEs - Update

Message from Uk Embassy Madrid via Brits in Spain FB page -

'Many of you who were issued with TIEs which wrongly state that you are an EU family member, have been asking us how to exchange them for a card with the correct wording. The correct wording is on the card in the image. As you know, the Spanish authorities confirmed that these cards are and will remain valid, but they have now also provided instructions on the process for exchanging them if you wish to. You can go to any National Police station (Policia Nacional) in your province, together with your passport and the incorrect TIE and they will process the new card free of charge. You should not need an appointment, but you may wish to check with the relevant police station in advance to ensure they have availability.'

Re: Incorrect TIEs - Update

But your card won´t be correct...because if you are married to an Irish citizen, then your card should have their name and NIE number on the back for it to be correct
