Was your Spanish PCC legalized? I have PCC from Spain a year ago but it is electronically signed with some code and there is no stamp at all
davidf77,
My PCC has 3 pages. Second page has signature and official stamp of official from Legalization Department. The document was made available on February 17, 2017.
Did anyone legalize their passport before sending in their documents ?

This page says we need to send a legalized copy of the passport.. did anyone do that? Did you do it at a consular office?

Yes you need to legalize the photocopy of your passport. You can do that at Spanish embassy in your country of residence.
Hey, hope all is well, I’m suffering now from this issue, I applied by mail from Jordan 3 months ago with no response.
Can you please advise the exact papers I need to send for my friend to submit it on my behalf ??
Hey- as people have said we figured this out.
My husband had to send a copy of his passport to the Spanish embassy in Ottawa to be legalized. He then sent that with the application and proof of wire fee payment to Spain. Received his police check back in about 2 weeks.

Hello guys,
I am in the same boat and in rush, help me, please.
In this website
http://www.mjusticia.gob.es/cs/Satellite/en/1200666550200/Tramite_C/1215326258560/Detalle.html
they say it must be paid from a bank located outside national Spanish territory, is this a must? Can I ask a friend in Spain to pay?
The second thing about legalization, I am confused from your talk ... Now after I receive my certificate in Spanish, I should legalize it in the Spanish embassy in my country? Or translate it and legalize the translation in the Canadian embassy in my country? Or to legalize the translation in the Spanish embassy in my country?
Finally to fill the following in tasa 790, am I correct?
20. COUNTRY OF DESTINATATION: Canada
21. AUTHORITY OR ENTITY BEFORE WHICH IT IS TO BE VALID: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
32. PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS REQUESTED: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
Thanks a lot

I have a query:
I am from India and want this criminal certificate to be valid in Canada.
1) Do I need to go for The Hague Apostille or any apostile?
2) If so, will the Ministry of Justice send my certificate automatically to them for apostile?
3) Should I add apostile fee along with the 3,78 fee while making the wired payment?
4) Can I get the certificate apostiled here in India?
I have just five days to apply my ITA. Would really appreciate urgent help from you guys. Thanks!

Can anyone help me please? I have submitted all required documents by post, which they have received last Friday. There is no acknowledgement from them on the receipt of my application. When I call them, they speak in Spanish and I don't. Can anyone please help me with an email address through which they actually respond? Would be a great help. Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Has anyone stayed in Spain in last 10 years and received PCC/ criminal record certificate from Spain. ? I need to know that I receive one- but as per CIC website this should be legalised. Can some one tell me the meaning of legalisation as does it says about Apostile, but Canada is not under Hague convection - so that may not work.
Can some one let me know what to do for legalisation, and if some one also know authorised Translator as i need to convert this from spanish to english . Please suggest as this is urgent . Thanks

Hello,
I am exactly in the same situation than the original post:
I applied for two PCCs from Spain (one from me and one for my partner) back in February. I received by post in France after a few weeks, but my partner never received hers in Poland (I am French, she's Polish, we live in Australia...easy)
In May we applied to PR (AOR May 2nd) without it, but we uploaded all the proofs that we tried to get it.
After a few months more, and still no PCC, it seemed our application was on hold with IRCC because of that, so we gave it another try. 2 months later, still no PCC received... For both times, the Spanish say they did send it (did they though...)
So a few weeks ago we decide to bring the big guns and do it with UPS (as opposed to normal post before), with return UPS envelop too.
a few days later, the tracking tells me they received it... so far so good.
I wait a few days, while I keep checking the return tracking number to see if its activated...nothing. After a week I contact them, and they tell me they already sent it, a few days ago ! But the UPS tracking is still saying that they didn't receive anything !
I am just losing my mind... what did they do with that parcel ?? And of course I barely speak Spanish, and they don't speak English, so every time it's a nightmare to communicate.
9 months that I am waiting for this PCC, and even with UPS it seems I cannot get it !
Any idea what I can do ?
The 6 months of my AOR are now passed, and at the latest news (GMCS notes in August), IRCC didn't even start my application because of this missing document... IRCC has started its count down of 90 days to provide it, until mid January, otherwise they will process my application without "at the risk of being refused"...
Any chance IRCC would still validate my PR without that document ? They can't say I haven't tried to get it...
I am desperate

I’m exactly in the same situation with you. Ministry of Justice in Spain says they have sent my PCC but UPS tracking back number shows no shipment. Could you understand what the problem is ? :/
Hello ladies and gentlemen.
I am trying to get Criminal record certificate for my mother. She came to Canada for a visit from Spain (she is Spanish citizenship)and after staying here with us we notice that something wrong with her. Well ,she was diagnosed with dementia early Alzhegeimer here while staying with us. I can not send her back to Spain . She is sick and all her kids are here. I am trying to legalize her status here in Canada. She is no help at all. I cannot speak Spanish. Trying to get info from Spanish consular but no luck. I was trying to pay fees for criminal record certificate in CIBC and TD banks. they could not do this.
They need;
1. NAME OF THE BANK
2. ADDRESS OF THE BANK
3. ACCOUNT NUMBER OF THE ACCOUNT HOLDER (Ministry of Justice)
Information on the website is not enough to do wire transfer as banks said to me.
Please those of you who was able to pay these 3.80 euros fee how did you do these?
I am doing this from outside of Spain option.
Thank you.
