Obtaining a Non-Criminal Certificate in Spain (Certificado de Antecedentes Penales)

A Spanish criminal record certificate (Certificado de Antecedentes Penales) is an official document used to confirm whether an individual has criminal convictions registered in Spain. The certificate is issued on the basis of records maintained by the Ministry of Justice of Spain and is commonly required for official procedures outside the country.

Foreign authorities, immigration offices, employers, and educational institutions may request this document as proof of legal background or good standing.

The certificate may be needed by both Spanish nationals and foreign citizens who previously lived, worked, studied, or held legal status in Spain.
