I can't obtain a criminal record certificate from my home country

You can request it through your country's consulate in Spain or a representative at home; if it is impossible, keep proof of every attempt.

Routes to consider

The authority takes proven impossibility into account, but it does not always waive the requirement. For Law 14/2013 permits such as digital nomad, certificates from the countries where you lived in the last two years are enough, with a declaration of no criminal record in the last five. Also check the apostille and translation before ordering it. Document, apostille and translation review

A point to check carefully

Compare identity details across all documents. Identify the issuing authority and destination country before ordering translations or authentication.

Documents to get started

  • Full passport and current authorisation, if any.
  • Decision confirming your authorisation and documents requiring updates.
  • Original certificates, registry details and proof of the preceding application.
  • Timeline of entries, departures, applications and notifications.

How we proceed

  • Assessment: confirm the route and competent authority.
  • Preparation: collect and review evidence specific to your case.
  • Filing: check forms, fees and representation.
  • Follow-up: monitor notices and explain the decision and next formalities.

Frequently asked questions
