ACRO Police Certificate and FCDO apostille
The ACRO Police Certificate is issued by ACRO Criminal Records Office and is the standard UK criminal record certificate required for Spanish visa and residency applications. For official use in Spain, the ACRO certificate is typically apostilled by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
If you have both the ACRO certificate and the FCDO apostille, send the full document package so Alba can translate both together. Translating the certificate without the apostille — or vice versa — can create gaps in the official package submitted to Spanish authorities.
