I know that "aqui tienes" means "here you are" - can this change to "aqui tienes" if you are speaking casually, or is it always "aqui tiene"? Thanks!

It's more like "Here you have it", and yes, speaking informally you could say "aquí tienes".

in Spain we would say: toma, ten...tenga, tome
Aquí tienes is also correct in informal speech.

That's interesting...I've never heard a direct translation for that expression.
In Spain it's "ten" or "tenga" and in Mexico it's "toma" or "tome". I can't remember which it is in Venezuela; maybe KevinB remembers.

I agree with Heidi and Jack.
Say, for example, someone asks for your passport. You would respond with ....
"Aquí lo tiene (tienes)" (Here you have it/Here it is)
