In brief

CIE is an identity document, not a residence permit. It is issued at the municipality. Prepare a photo, tax code and old card for renewal; for first issue, valid ID or identification under municipal instructions. Check recorded details and keep the receipt. Check appointments and additional municipal charges locally; do not promise a universal total.
