The Criminal Records Certificate: an essential requirement
The Certificate of Criminal Records is an official document issued by a government authority (such as the Ministry of Justice or its equivalent in each country) that certifies whether a person has a criminal record.
This certificate is a required document in the regularization process, and if it is not in Spanish, the Administration will not accept it. Therefore:
- Sworn translation is mandatory for all official documents issued in another language.
- The deadline for submitting Extraordinary Regularization applications is June 30, 2026.
- Processing depends on the documents (including the translated certificate) being correct and complete to avoid delaying your application.
