Immigration in Hospitalet: which office for which procedure
We're based in Hospitalet and work with clients across the Barcelona area. Here's what you need to know about the offices handling your case.
Where each thing gets done
Not everything is resolved at the same office
It's the most common mistake: the office that resolves your arraigo or residency application isn't the same one that books your fingerprint appointment or hands you your card.
Immigration Office (resolves your application)
Arraigo, residency and most authorization applications are resolved at the Immigration Offices in Barcelona city (Passeig de Sant Joan, 189 or Carrer de Múrcia, 42), not in Hospitalet.
Most of these procedures are filed online; an in-person appointment is only needed in specific cases.
L'Hospitalet Police Station (fingerprints and TIE)
For fingerprinting, collecting your card (TIE), or renewing it, the police station at Rambla Just Oliveras, 43, in Hospitalet, usually has more appointment availability than the offices in central Barcelona.
It's a genuine alternative to Rambla Guipúscoa in Barcelona city for this specific procedure.
Hospitalet Town Hall (municipal registration)
The empadronamiento certificate, essential to prove how long you've lived here, is requested at the Hospitalet de Llobregat Town Hall itself, not at any immigration office.

Our office is at Calle Sevilla 3, in Hospitalet itself — a short walk from the Rambla Just Oliveras police station.
