agree  translatol: Except that 'entrega' is definitely 'pick-up', i.e. where the government official 'delivers' the document (usually a card in Spain) to the applicant.

Explanation:
I'd just keep it this simple. "desk" could substitute "window", depending on the physical design of the "ventanilla".

Explanation:
As it is the place of 'entrega' I think it has to be clear it is to pick it up after it has been 'issued', and not to hand in the forms to ask for one to be issued.
