Approval letter — Resolución de Concesión (Approval Letter / 'Esta comunicación')

The official PDF notice from the Oficina de Extranjería confirming that your renewal has been approved ('concedida'). It includes your name, NIE, the new authorization period, and a list of the exact documents you must bring to the huellas appointment. The police office calls this 'Esta comunicación' — they will not issue the new TIE without it.

How to get it

Downloaded from Mercurio (or from the email notification's attached PDF) once the resolution arrives. Print one paper copy and keep the PDF on your phone.

Common mistakes

— Skipping the print — the police office wants a paper copy at the appointment
— Forgetting to bring it because 'Mercurio already has it' — they don't share files between systems

Read the document list on the last page carefully — it's the authoritative list for your specific file. If anything on it differs from the standard checklist, follow what the letter says.
