Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of the criminal record certificate?
It is commonly requested for: working with minors (legally mandatory), obtaining visas or residence permits abroad, participating in adoption processes, accessing certain public and private jobs, and notarial or registration procedures.
How long is the criminal record certificate valid?
There is no legal expiration date, but most authorities accept it if it has a validity of less than 3-6 months. For international visas and procedures, they usually require one with less than 3 months.
What happens if I have cancelled convictions?
Criminal records are automatically canceled after the legal time limit (between 6 months and 30 years) has passed according to the crime. Once canceled, they do not appear on standard certificates. You can request early cancellation if you meet the criteria.
Can someone else apply for me?
Yes, with express authorization signed and accompanied by a copy of the applicant's DNI. A legal representative (lawyer, procurator, notary) may also do so on your behalf.
Do I need a criminal record certificate to work with children?
Yes, since 2015 (Organic Law 1/1996). Any person who works regularly with minors (teachers, monitors, sports trainers, volunteers) must present the negative criminal record for sexual offenses.
