Arrest Warrant Check in Spain

This service is for individuals who suspect that an arrest warrant may have been issued against them in Spain. 

Typically, these are persons who have had encounters with the Spanish legal system, whether through direct involvement in criminal cases, as suspects, or through indirect association with criminal activities. 

Not knowing their legal standing can be distressing and disruptive to their daily lives. 

The service is particularly beneficial for those who fear arrest and legal repercussions on returning to Spain, maybe for a holiday with family members. 

Confirming that no arrest warrant is outstanding can bring great relief and certainty when making travel plans to Spain. 

On the other hand, confirming the existence of an arrest warrant and understanding its implications, allows our clients to make informed decisions and take necessary steps to address the situation, thereby alleviating their fears and uncertainties.

At Advocate Abroad we have assisted many clients in this position, even those who may not remember their file number, nor the court that sentenced them. 

We liaise with Spanish law enforcement agencies and judicial authorities in order to investigate the legal proceedings that took place and provide a court bank account number for payment of any outstanding fines or penalties, so you can travel to the country freely and without being worried about potential detention by the border police.

If an arrest warrant is found, the client is informed about the specifics of the warrant, including the charges, the issuing authority, and any applicable legal provisions. 

Based on this information, legal advice can be provided on the possible courses of action, which may include contesting the warrant, or other legal remedies available under Spanish law.

• Upon completion of this service, clients gain clarity on their legal status in Spain, which is a significant relief for those living under the shadow of uncertainty and fear of arrest when visiting Spain.
• Understanding whether an arrest warrant exists and the details of such a warrant empowers clients to make informed decisions about their next steps.
