Certificado de antecedentes penales España/ Police Records Spain

[Mrs. Best 1]

Hello everyone,

I finally got my interview date, i already set the medical exam and i have all i need but one thing, my police records from spain.

So this is the case (i have tried to find help over the internet but i guess it is a particular case?)

I studied in Barcelona (2008-2009) for nine months, i have 3 years since i came back now and of course i never asked for my police record when i left (i didnt know i could even do that, as i was a student).

But now i am getting ready for my interview and even though they didnt ask for it i would like to have everything in hand just in case. So i tried to find out if i could get my spanish police record for the time i was studying there.

I called the Nicaragua embassy in Madrid and they told me they do all the tramits for the nicaraguan police record in spain, but they dont handle spanish police records for nicaraguan people, i read what the spanish US embassy said about this matter and i asked the guy who answered my call if maybe they had some kind of reciprocity agreement for this cases and he said no and please call the spanish embassy in managua.

I called to the spanish embassy in nicaragua and i asked the exact same thing (my spanish police records for the time i was there) and they said they dont do it either, and that is a service that just people who lived 5 years in spain is allowed to get, then i asked if there was some document or letter or something that could give me a backup for what she was saying and she said go to the national police website, so i did. And i found exactly the same thing...nothing.(other websites i have check in spain are: Exterior Mnistry, Justice Ministry, Interior Ministry.)

So..im kindda lost i dont know if i should go to the embassy and if they ask then i should tell them that i tried but for what i was told i wasnt able to get it cause i am consider just a temporary visitor (i read students are not consider residents, even if they live in the country for more than 6 months), or tell me from the beginning about the problem that i had getting these records.Or maybe just keep trying...

Advice please.

I am in the same position - my wife studied in Spain for one year and we are trying to get the Spanish Police Certificate. According to the Spanish Ministry of Justice website, you can apply via post, although they are not clear on how to provide proof of ID.

Has anyone applied for this via post?

Any help is welcome.
