Was this what you wanted to paste?

Residency

If you are legally resident in Spain before the transition period ends on 31 December 2020, you will be able to stay. You must register as a Spanish resident if you want to stay in Spain for more than 3 months.

If you are living in Spain before 1 January 2021 and register as a resident after 6 July 2020, you will be issued with a biometric residence card called a Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE). This card will prove your rights under the Withdrawal Agreement.

If you registered as a resident before 6 July 2020, you will have a green A4 certificate or credit card-sized piece of paper from Extranjeria or the police. This is still a valid document and will prove your rights under the Withdrawal Agreement, including after the transition period ends. You can exchange your paper residence document for the new TIE but you do not need to.

The green paper residence certificate and the new biometric TIE card are equally valid in proving your residence status and rights in Spain.

Yes thank you

Probably because I was trying to do it on a phone!

I thought the “ do not need to” replace your current one was useful - for the time being anyway

Made reference to this information on another thread. Could not post the information. Seems to be a conflict at this stage as to what is the way forward. This suggests people who had Residencia on 6th July 2020 are fully covered and need not apply for TIE unless they want to.
