The office that issues your card depends on your province
Fingerprints and card collection happen at police immigration units or DNI and passport offices, depending on the province. Choose a city to see which office serves you, which option to pick when booking, such as fingerprints and card rather than a renewal filing, and which area it covers. Keep your receipt for the collection visit.
