What the office handles
Per the Policía Nacional directory: NIE certificates and assignment, EU-citizen matters, TIE cards, return authorisations, students, stay extensions, non-lucrative residence, asylum, plus travel documents and identity cards for foreigners. That directory gives 977 248 613 as its phone number.
Who is sent here
By comarca, according to the Delegación del Gobierno, residents of the Tarragonès, the Alt Camp, the Baix Penedès and the Conca de Barberà: the city itself, Part Alta and Eixample, Serrallo, Sant Pere i Sant Pau and Llevant, and towns such as Salou, Vila-seca, Torredembarra, Altafulla, Valls and El Vendrell. The other comarcas look to the stations of Reus or Tortosa.

The other extranjería office
The Delegación del Gobierno keeps its Oficina de Extranjería at Avenida Estanislau Figueras 59 (43002). Residence authorisations are its work, family reunification, arraigo, long-term residence and renewals among them, as are the EX-19 cards for relatives of EU citizens; its own page sends the TIE, the green certificate and the NIE to the police.
It publishes opening times: 8:30–17:00 from Monday to Thursday and 8:30–14:00 on Fridays, then 9:00–14:00 on weekdays between 16 June and 20 September. Its phone: 977 999 149.
Hours and directions
No opening hours for the police office appear in the official sources, so the time on the confirmation from the online cita previa is what counts. Nor do they give transport directions: find the square on a map before the day.

Queries on this guide
Can I just turn up?
No. These procedures are booked through the cita previa system; arrive with your confirmation and the file for the procedure it names.
Where will I collect my TIE?
The receipt from your fingerprint appointment explains how and where the card is picked up.
Is this the comisaría provincial?
Yes. Both the Policía Nacional directory and the Delegación del Gobierno put the provincial brigade for foreigners, inside the provincial police station, on Plaça d’Orleans.
