1. Overview

Madrid has 20 offices (Comisarías de Policía Nacional) processing TIE residence card (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero) pickups. SCLT continuously tracks all 20.

This week 16 offices advanced and 4 had zero movement. The headline active rate — 80% — has held for 3 consecutive weeks. That number is real. But it hides what’s actually happening.

The 26% drop is mostly one office. Total output fell from 154 to 114 lotes. Sounds alarming — until you isolate Poblados, which went from an outlier +55 burst last week to a still-strong +23 this week. Remove Poblados from both weeks: output only fell 8% (99 → 91). The system didn’t slow down — one office stopped overperforming.

Concentration is increasing. Four offices (Poblados, Alcobendas, Torrejón, Pozuelo) produced 66 of 114 lotes — 58% of Madrid’s total output this week, up from 48% averaged across 6 weeks. If any of these four stalls, the whole province feels it immediately.

Leganés and Fuenlabrada stopped in lockstep. Both ran 4 consecutive active weeks with nearly identical output, then both went to zero the same week. This is not coincidence — it suggests a shared external cause: staffing, batch depletion, or administrative hold.

The rotation is actually net-positive. Three offices went quiet (combined prior-week output: 13 lotes). Three came back (combined this-week output: 20 lotes). Madrid gained more capacity from resuming offices than it lost from stalling ones.

Key figures: Madrid issued 114 TIE card pickup slots this week across 16 active offices. The top 4 offices handled 58% of total output. Two previously reliable offices stopped simultaneously after 4 active weeks each.

2. Office Details

Notable changes this week

Poblados — Lote: 398 (+23). Status: decelerating but still dominant. Last week’s +55 was an outlier burst. This week’s +23 is still the largest single jump in Madrid. This office operates in burst cycles — long dormant stretches followed by massive batches. Even a “slow” week here outperforms most offices’ best.

Alcorcón — Lote: 105 (+4). Status: possible recovery. First movement after 5 weeks of complete silence. This office has the longest natural cycle in Madrid (averaging 17 days between active periods). One week doesn’t confirm recovery — a second consecutive advance next week would.

Alcalá de Henares & Coslada — Both resumed after a quiet week (Alcalá: lote 105, +9; Coslada: lote 112, +7). Both offices show an alternating active/quiet pattern visible in the heatmap — a week of movement, a week of silence, then movement again.

3. Offices With No Movement

Getafe — Lote: 68. Stagnant for the entire tracking period (6+ weeks). No signs of recovery. Status: frozen. If you were fingerprinted at Getafe, your TIE card processing is currently stalled. Cards cannot be transferred to another office after fingerprinting. What you can do →

Leganés — Lote: 112. Entering second week of silence after 4 consecutive active weeks. Was one of Madrid’s steadiest offices. Status: newly frozen — this is the most concerning development in Madrid right now. Cards cannot be transferred after fingerprinting. What you can do →

Fuenlabrada — Lote: 113. Entering second week of silence. Had 4 active weeks before going quiet. Status: warning — following the same pattern Leganés showed before freezing. What you can do →

Collado Villalba — Lote: 24. Low-volume office now in its first week of silence after advancing +2 last week. Status: slow/stalled — at this office’s pace, one quiet week could be normal. A second would confirm stagnation.

4. Next Week Outlook

Likely to continue: The top 4 (Poblados, Alcobendas, Torrejón, Pozuelo) have been consistently active for 5+ weeks. Barring a system disruption, expect continued advancement.

Key test: Leganés and Fuenlabrada enter their second full week of silence. If they remain frozen through next week, they join Getafe as confirmed stalls. The fact that both were 4-week active offices before stopping — and stopped within days of each other — suggests a shared cause (staffing? batch depletion?) rather than random timing.

Positive signal: Three offices that were quiet last week (Alcorcón, Coslada, Alcalá) all resumed this week. Madrid’s office rotation pattern continues — offices cycle between active bursts and brief pauses. The 80% active rate has held for 3 weeks despite different offices going in and out.

Output concern: Total lotes dropped 26% (154 → 114). This is the first weekly decline in 4 weeks. Not yet alarming — the top 4 offices account for most of the drop (Poblados alone went from +55 to +23). But if next week’s total drops below 100, that would signal a real slowdown.

5. Alerts

Leganés → Watch. Went from 4 consecutive active weeks to complete silence. If you are waiting at Leganés with a lote above 112, there is currently no movement toward your number. No action available — cards cannot be transferred after fingerprinting.

Fuenlabrada → Watch. Same pattern as Leganés. Four active weeks, then silence. If both remain frozen next week, this becomes the top concern for Madrid TIE processing.

Alcorcón → Cautious positive. First advancement in 5 weeks (+4). Could be a genuine restart or a one-time event. Next week will tell — a second consecutive advance would confirm recovery.
