We received notice of approval on 3/8 and need one more paper. My fiancé previously lived in Spain for several years, however, he is Colombian and is in Colombia now. We have searched the site and are not sure the best way to obtain the Police Certificate. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, this is info from Dept. of State, country reciprocity schedule:

Police Record

Available for applicants over 18 years old.

The Spanish police Certificate is known in Spain as "Certificado de Antecedentes Penales".

Non-Spanish former residents of Spain applying outside Spain must contact their respective countries´ Embassy in Madrid, Spain. (Example: Italians should contact the Italian Consulate in Madrid). The Embassy should then contact the Spanish Ministry of Justice if that country has a reciprocal agreement with Spain for police certification. 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. The contact address is:

Oficina central de Atención al Ciudadano del Ministerio de Justicia

Plaza Jacinto Benavente 3

28012 Madrid

Spain

Non-Spanish citizens living illegally in Spain: Police certificates are unavailable for non-Spanish citizens living illegally in Spain. There are no alternatives available for visa applicants needing Spanish Police Certificates who live illegally in Spain.

Therefore looks like you should conact Colombian embassy in Spain.
