I obtained my NIE in 2001 (it is simply an A4 document with an official stamp on it).  I moved to Spain as my main place of residence in 2003 and registered as self-employed “autonomo” in July 2005.  Recently I received a Requerimiento from the Hacienda asking me to show my NIE credentials at the local tax office.  I duly took along my A4 NIE document and was abruptly dismissed ... it seems there is a tarjeta these days with photo ID that is obtainable after fingerprinting at a police station?  Can anyone enlighten me as to the procedure to obtain the tarjeta please?  Is this a second part of the process, after receiving the A4 document, which I have failed to complete, or is it a change in the process since I obtained what I thought was my NIE back in 2001?  Many thanks, Angie
