K-3 lived in Spain: Madrid 1976 and Barcelona 1979.  Does anyone know
the contact point to obtain police reports from these locations and
time frames?  K-3 currently in Santiago Chile and the Spanish embassy
doesn't know answer.   Thanks

Good luck, I know it can be difficult when you're working on it from a
third country.

According to the State Dept Reciprocity Schedule:
http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/reciprocity/reciprocity_3673.html

Police Records

Available. The Spanish police certificate is known in Spain as
“Certificado de Antecedentes Penales.”

If you are a Spanish national residing in Spain, you may apply in
person or by mail at the Ministry of Justice, San Bernardo 45, 28071,
Madrid.

If you are a Spanish national living outside of Spain, you should
apply through the Spanish Consulate in the country where you are
currently living.

Third country nationals (TCN) legally living in Spain must apply at
the Ministry of Justice, San Bernardo 45, 28071 Madrid.

A TCN illegally living in Spain is unable to obtain a police
certificate.

If you are a former legal TCN currently living outside of Spain,
contact the consulate of your nationality in Spain. (Example: Italians
should contact the Italian Consulate in Madrid). If Spain does not
have a reciprocal agreement with this country, a police certificate is
not available. A list of countries having reciprocal agreements with
Spain is not available. Applicants must check with each individual
consulate regarding their country's reciprocal agreement status.

If you are a former illegal TCN currently living outside of Spain, you
cannot obtain a police clearance.

Spanish citizens must contact the Spanish Embassy in their country of
residence to request a Spanish Police Certificate. The Spanish Embassy
will provide them with more specific information.

Non-Spanish Former Residents of Spain: Non-Spanish former residents of
Spain applying outside Spain must contact their respective countries'
embassy in Madrid, Spain. The embassy should then contact the Spanish
Ministry of Justice if that country has a reciprocal agreement with
Spain for police certification. The address for the Spanish Ministry
of Justice is:

Ministerio De Justicia
Registro Central de Penados y Reveldes
C/San Bernardo 45,
28071 Madrid, Spain

Non-Spanish Citizens Living Illegally in Spain: Police certificates
are unavailable for non-Spanish citizens living illegally in Spain.
There are no alternatives available for visa applicants needing
Spanish Police Certificates who live illegally in Spain.

Thanks for the information.  That's pretty complicated!  We'll work on
it!  Sounds like it's going to take awhile!

NONE of the above suggestions worked and none of the suggestions on
the BCIS website worked.  Finally, the K3 called the Chilean
Ambassador in Madrid, from her home in Santiago.  The Ambassador
himself answered the phone because the locals were on vacation!  He
informed there was no program(s) via the Chilean Embassy to assist on
the matter, made a few calls and reported that the application/letter
should come from the Police Chief of the city itself.  So the K3
called a cousin who went over the the police department in Barcelona
and they knew exactly what was needed.  But to get the letter the
Police needed power of attorney from the K3 which was easy.  4 more to
go.  This is a difficult requirement.
