Start getting notified.
A Chrome extension that watches every police office in your province for a TIE fingerprint appointment — and alerts you the moment a slot opens. Pick your province once and it does the rest. No more F5. No more gestores.
Works on Chrome for macOS and Windows · Runs in your own browser · Your data never leaves your machine.
The TIE appointment lottery
If you've tried booking a cita previa you know the drill.
Slots vanish in seconds
When the system releases appointments they're gone before most applicants even reach the page.
Manual refreshing doesn't scale
Slots appear at random times, at any office in the province. Watching every office by hand, day after day, isn't sustainable.
Gestores charge €50–200 per booking
A gestor charges €50–200 for a single booking — and you still wait on their timeline. TIE Checker is €20/month, unlimited.
Deadlines don't wait
Authorisation expiries, work start dates, residency rules — miss the window and paperwork cascades.
How it works
Set your province once. Book when it alerts you.
-
1
Install the extension
One-click install from the Chrome Web Store. Runs in your own browser, using your existing sede session.
-
2
Pick your province
Choose your province and save your NIE, name, email and mobile. TIE Checker watches every police office in that province for a TIE fingerprint appointment (toma de huellas) — you don't have to guess which one will open up.

3
Install your certificate once
A one-time macOS Keychain / Windows cert setup so Chrome can authenticate with Cl@ve silently. Detailed guide inside the extension.

Get alerted when a slot opens
Every hour (once a day on the free plan) the extension walks the whole booking flow in a background tab, right to the availability screen. When a slot opens at any office in your province, the tab pops forward on the page listing the offices with free slots, plays a sound and shows a notification so you can book straight away. Start or stop checking from the popup whenever you like.

Install free →Download
Free. No sign-up. One automated check a day, at 8am.
The extension is open about what it does — you can inspect the source before installing. It never sends your NIE, name, or any personal data off your own machine.
Your data stays on your machine. Full stop.
Stored only in this browser; never sent anywhere except the sede. Here's exactly what that means — in plain English.
NIE, name, mobile, email
Live only in your browser's local storage. We have no database of applicants. When the extension runs a check, these fields go directly from your Chrome to the Spanish sede — exactly as if you'd typed them into the form yourself.
Your .p12 certificate
Lives in your operating system's keychain. The extension cannot read it. Chrome uses it directly to authenticate with Cl@ve. We never see your certificate, your private key, or any derived credential.
Check results & history
Every appointment check is processed in your browser. The result stays on your device. We don't know when you checked, what you found, or which trámite you're tracking.
No analytics, no trackers
No Google Analytics. No Facebook Pixel. No advertising SDKs. No session replay. The website loads three files: the page, the CSS, and the language dictionary. Check the source — it's not hidden.
What we do store
Only two things, both billing-related: your license key (to validate your subscription) and the email you paid with (to send you the key and receipts). That's it.
Open-source behaviour
The extension's code is shipped unminified in the Chrome package. Any developer can unpack it and audit exactly what it sends and where. We have nothing to hide — our privacy model works because we built it to work, not because you trust our word.

Pricing
Free to try. Upgrade for hourly checks and to track your whole family.
The free plan checks once a day, at 8am. Slots can appear and vanish many times in between — Pro checks every hour so you catch far more of them. And a gestor charges €50–200 for a single booking; Pro is €20/month.

Questions
Does this actually book the appointment for me?
No — it detects availability and alerts you instantly so you can book. This keeps you in control and keeps the tool squarely within the sede's acceptable-use norms.
Will I get blocked or banned from Extranjería?
The extension runs inside your own Chrome browser with your own residential IP and your own certificate — exactly like a person checking the page. It checks once an hour (once a day on the free plan), with randomised delays, so it never hammers the sede.
Which appointments does it look for?
TIE fingerprint appointments (Policía – toma de huellas). You have to apply in the province where you live, so you choose your province and TIE Checker watches every police office in it at once, using the sede's own "any office" option.
Does my computer need to be on?
Yes. TIE Checker runs inside Chrome on your computer, so it checks while your computer is on and Chrome is open. When a slot opens, the alert appears on that computer.
I already have a .p12 certificate. Do I need anything else?
Just install it in macOS Keychain (or Windows Certificate Manager) and set it to auto-select for pasarela.clave.gob.es. The extension includes a step-by-step guide.
How does the subscription work?
Pro is €20/month and Premium is €45/month, billed monthly via Stripe. Cancel anytime from the billing portal — your access continues until the end of the paid month. Most users get their TIE appointment within weeks and cancel before the next charge, which is fine.
How does activation work?
After purchase you'll receive a license key like TIE-ABCD-EFGH-JKMN. Paste it into the extension's settings page with the email you bought with, and click Activate. The key locks to that specific browser install. If you try to activate the same key on a second browser or computer, it'll be rejected — that's how we enforce one-license-one-device.
Can I use one license on multiple computers?
No — each license is bound to a single browser on a single device. When you activate your key, it's locked to that install. This keeps pricing fair: one license, one person, one device. If you need to move to a new computer (e.g. you replaced your laptop), email support and we'll transfer it free of charge.
Do you store my NIE, name, or personal data?
No. All personal fields (NIE, name, email, mobile, cert) live only in your browser's local storage. Our server only knows your license key and the email used for purchase.
Is this allowed? Will I get in trouble?
TIE Checker doesn't do anything you couldn't do yourself — it checks the public cita previa website from your own browser, using your own session, and alerts you when a slot is free. It never books automatically and it never bypasses any security or queue. You stay in full control and complete the booking yourself. It's a smarter way to watch a public page, nothing more.
