We have been issued with a residency letter and believe the next step is an appointment to get fingerprints taken to generate a TIE card.  We have been waiting for our lawyer to arrange for 11 weeks and he tells us they are only processing people from February when our letter was issued July.  The suggestion being it could be months before we complete the process.  This doesn't seem right when we know that Alicante residents were getting appointments within 2 weeks.  What experience do any of the forum members have?  Or any advice?

Our lawyer also told us that we could not swap out our driving licences for Spanish ones until we have our TIE cards but again concerned about implications of further delay to swap over.  Any advice?

No i don't have it - that was the question in this post.  There seems to be a calendar to book appointments in Cartegena with associated forms to complete so we are running this past our lawyer to see if we can make the appointment direct rather than wait.

Is one of the sites you can make an appointment yourself 

Or if you wish to go to Cartagena opposite the police station there is a locutorio that can book appointments for a small charge, the guy does not speak english very well so would be worth translating what you need first

Thank you. Our lawyer, with our direction, has managed to book appointment next week for us in Murcia City.
