Hi there. I had thought I saw somewhere (here?) a document that had contact information on where to get police reports ordered for many countries....but now I cannot seem to find it! Can someone point me to some contact information for Spain? Thank you!!

The Spanish police certificate is known in Spain as “Certificado de Antecedentes Penales.”

If you are a Spanish national residing in Spain, you may apply in person or by mail at the Ministry of Justice, San Bernardo 45, 28071, Madrid.

If you are a Spanish national living outside of Spain, you should apply through the Spanish Consulate in the country where you are currently living.

Thank you very much for this! I am writing for my husband, who is not a Spanish national but who will be resident in Spain for long enough (I think, will double check) that he will need one for our application. He is British. Would he apply through the Spanish Consulate here in London (where are live?) or contact the folks in Madrid?

Thanks again

That is why I provided you te link...A further review of the link says:

Third country nationals (TCN) legally living in Spain must apply at the Ministry of Justice, San Bernardo 45, 28071 Madrid.

A TCN illegally living in Spain is unable to obtain a police certificate.

If you are a former legal TCN currently living outside of Spain, contact the consulate of your nationality in Spain. (Example: Italians should contact the Italian Consulate in Madrid). If Spain does not have a reciprocal agreement with this country, a police certificate is not available. A list of countries having reciprocal agreements with Spain is not available. Applicants must check with each individual consulate regarding their country's reciprocal agreement status.

If you are a former illegal TCN currently living outside of Spain, you cannot obtain a police clearance.
