TIE question
Why do you have fingerprints taken when applying for a TIE. Im intrigued as to why this is. I'm presuming it's to register you on the Spanish data base?
we've been here ten years about to get our TIE and we wondered why it happens to TCns .
Thank you in advance

Re: TIE question
An EU citizen's home country is in charge of ID and what biometric data is taken, so if an EU citizen is resident in another EU country the most data that the host country can record (if it wants to) is the kind of data you'll find in Spain's green certificate.
But TCNs get the full treatment with a chipped residency card and fingerprints and all that.
Spain did have a blue EU citizen card much like a TIE and you had to have fingerprints taken as part of getting one, but they got their knuckles rapped for taking too much data and had to change to the green certificate.

Re: TIE question
We exchanged our green ticket for TIE last week. Two desks - I ended up on the desk where the fingerprint machine would not work - the nice National Policeman said not to worry, not
really needed. We asked about redoing all on the machine next door - again, said don't worry - lots of people have TIE cards without fingerprints.

Re: TIE question
I have a question also about TIE.
How do we know if our new TIE states if we were living and working in Spain prior to Brexit actually happening (DEC 2020).
I exchanged my green card for the new TIE today, but no where on the card does it state the date I actually arrived in 2018, it just has the card issue date and well, personally I'd like it to state I was here DEC 2020, so that if anything happens there is proof I am eligible for pre-brexit benefits if needs be.
Thanks in advanced
