If you are a first year auxiliary teacher, you may be fine with only providing your recent criminal background check when being cleared to work with students in Spain (depending on school/region).
Many participants in the program, however, will need to provide a specific background check to work in Spanish schools. It is called the Certificado de Delitos de Naturaleza Sexual y Trata de Seres Humanos. It’s a simple process where you provide your ID and application form at the Ministry of Justice. They do a quick background check for free and then send you the results via email or SMS (results come within a day).
This is something you get while in Spain. The process is incredibly simple. It should not take you more than half an hour.
Not all schools will require this. To be sure, you can always contact your school’s bilingual coordinator beforehand.
Step 1: Get an appointment.
https://citaprevia.mjusticia.gob.es/
I was able to get an appointment without using a Spanish phone number (I just used a placeholder number – 111111111111111111). The appointment confirmation was sent directly to my email, so it is possible to start the process without being in Spain.
First, click on the link above. If you are residing in Madrid, use the corresponding option, and if you are residing in a different region, click “aquí”.
Madrid: The certificate is free! Ignore the section about applying online. You will be applying for this certificate in person. Pick a day and a time and reserve your appointment.
Don’t forget to check the box at the bottom!
After clicking “Reservar”, you can add your personal information. Soon after, you will receive a confirmation email.
Other: After clicking “aquí”, you will be sent to another page. Continue to the appointment page by clicking on “Solicitud de Cita”.
Input your region in “Centro”, then request Certificado de Delitos de Naturaleza Sexual y Trata de Seres Humanos for “Servicio”.
Afterwards, you can request an appointment date and time. In the following page, you can add your personal information.
After requesting an appointment, you will be sent a confirmation email. Go ahead and print out the email to bring with you to your appointment. Make sure you know how to get to the Ministry of Justice office for your region.
Step 2: Complete the Modelo de Solicitud + Gather documents.
You need your ID (Passport), your appointment confirmation, and a completed Modelo de Solicitud.
Quick Announcement:
Running this website takes time (and money), but you can support it at no cost to yourself.
When moving to Spain, you’ll need services like a bank account, money transfers, and a phone plan. I’m an affiliate for companies I personally recommend, and my referral links often include discounts for you.
Use them when setting up your life in Spain. You save money, the site earns a small commission, and everyone benefits.
Now, back to the guide.
Here is what I did
The applicant will receive an access code via SMS on this phone, which will allow them to download their certificate from any terminal with internet access, as many times as they need.”
This just means that you need to provide your telephone number to access your certificate after the appointment.
At the bottom of the form, you will see the following:
Step 3: Attend your appointment with your documents. Depending on the office, they may print the results for you. If not, within a day you will receive your results via email or SMS with an access code that allows you to download your certificate as many times as needed.
Finally, go ahead and save your certificate to the cloud and a USB Drive. Make sure to print it out and turn it into the school.

Culture Shock!
People who talk about moving to another country may emphasize how different the culture will be and how to deal with culture shock.
