Hi There,

My partner needs to obtain a "Certificado de Penales" for our application for permanent residency in Australia. The Australian immigration department have already lodged an application for the certificate on our behalf and its now been 10 weeks waiting and we're still nowhere near getting it back.

We live in the UK and we we're thinking about heading over to Spain as I know you can make a personal application, but i have tonight found a company on the internet who undertake the service for you. Their website is:

http://penales4spain.com/#

Just wondering if anyone has had experience of them as using a company like this would save us taking valuable time off work. Think the cost works out around 82euros.

Alternatively, does anybody know of any other companies who offer a similar service

Many Thanks

Just go to your local Ayuntamiento office in your area and ask for the (form 790) subsecretaria de justicia. fill it in (easy) take it with a copy of your passport to your local Ministerio de justicia office ours is in Murcia O sorry when you have filled in the form take it with around 4 euros to a Cam bank they will stamp it to say its paid for .. thats it you will receive back in around 20 mins . DO NOT POST IT TO MADRID IT WILL TAKE MONTHS TO GET BACK

good luck
