If you were once arrested in Spain but never convicted, or your case ended in acquittal, that arrest may still sit on file with the police. That can follow you around long after the matter was legally closed.
Spain keeps two separate kinds of criminal records: police records and judicial records. Police records are created the moment someone is arrested, even if they are later cleared and the case ends with no conviction at all. That information does not disappear on its own. Removing it from police files requires a specific legal procedure.
If you believe you have an old police record that should no longer exist, get in touch with us and we can help you have it cancelled.
