Police certificates expiry
Hi I'm hoping someone will know I've lived in Spain for 8 months before moving back to the UK then currently in Canada on tourist visa with my wife.
Before I left Spain I acquired a police clearance certificate and now I'm not sure from what I've been reading will I need an up to date one do they expire?
Spanish beaurocracy is not the easiest but before I get the certificate translated wondered if anyone knew
Thank you in advance :-)

Re: Police certificates expiry
For countries where you have lived for six months or more, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you lived in that country.
If your certificate is in a language other than English or French, send it when you apply, along with the original copy of a translation done by a certified translator.
As long as you don't go back to live in Spain it will be valid whenever you submit an application.
