MI-TIE: application for a foreigner identity card (TIE) under Law 14/2013

MI-TIE («Movilidad internacional (Ley 14/2013) — Solicitud de Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero») is the official form of Spain’s Directorate-General of Police for a foreigner identity card (TIE) for people granted a residence permit under Law 14/2013 on support for entrepreneurs and their internationalisation, and for their family members. It is a separate form, not the general EX-17.

The form is in Spanish and has two pages: the application and the instructions. FoxDocs only types your data into the fields of the official PDF and does not change its layout.

• holders of a Law 14/2013 permit: entrepreneur, highly qualified professional, researcher (EU or national scheme), intra-company transferee (ICT-EU or national);
• investor or representative — only under a permit already granted: since 3 April 2025 Ley Orgánica 1/2025 has removed the investor category from Law 14/2013 and new applications are no longer accepted; applications filed before that date are decided under the old rules, and existing permits can be renewed;
• a family member of any of them ticks the «FAMILIAR DE …» box matching the permit holder’s category;
• the form has no box of its own for international teleworkers — ask the UGE or the police which box to tick;
• the form is addressed to the police — Comisaría General de Extranjería y Fronteras, Oficina de Extranjería or Brigada de Extranjería of the province where you file; according to its instructions you hand in the original and a copy;
• the card fee is paid separately; check the amount and how to pay at the police office or on sede.policia.gob.es.

• type of application: first card, renewal, extension (prórroga), change of status, or duplicate after theft, loss, destruction or damage;
• situation in Spain: one of 14 categories, from investor to family member of a transferred employee;
• the foreign national: passport, NIE, first and second surnames, given name, sex (H/M), marital status (S/C/V/D/Sp), date of birth (dd/mm/aaaa), country of birth, nationality, father’s and mother’s names;
• address in Spain: street, number, floor, town, postcode, province; landline and mobile phones, e-mail;
• representative filing the application (if not the applicant) with their address and, for a firm, its legal representative and position; address for notifications;
• place and date of signing, signature, and the province or town where you file.

• the completed MI-TIE form — original and a copy, in capital letters;
• your passport;
• the decision granting the Law 14/2013 permit, or your visa;
• a photo and the fee payment receipt — check the photo format and the amount at the office;
• for a duplicate — proof of theft or loss, or the damaged card; confirm the exact list for your case with the police beforehand.

1. Tell the chat, in any language, which Law 14/2013 permit you have and whether you need a first card, a renewal or a duplicate.
2. The assistant fills in the fields in capital letters, splits your date of birth into dd/mm/aaaa and your NIE into letter, number and check letter, and ticks the right boxes.
3. Download the PDF, check it, print it with a copy, sign by hand and take it to the police.
