Phone still not working A Diamond of For “technical reasons" the 902 102 112 Spanish national “Denuncia” (police report) by telephone service is still out of order. Until its breakdown, one of the benefits of this telephone service was that it could be used by tourists and foreign residents to report certain crimes and the loss or theft of a passport in English or one of several other European languages. Once reported the report would have automatically been translated into Spanish and could have been collected from the caller’s nearest national
police station. An official police report is usually necessary in order to apply for a replacement lost passport or an emergency travel document. Anyone finding themselves in this predicament must now make the obligatory police report at an actual national police or Guardia Civil station. A list of all Spanish national police stations (Comisarías) where the “denuncia” can be made, is available on the web at www.policia.es under denuncias.

If a loved one died in Spain, would you know what to do? Ask yourself these questions: Who would you call? Do you know the Spanish system? Would you be able to deal with the Spanish Law and Customs? Would family members have time to attend the funeral, which is usually held within 48 hours? Upfront payment is usually required in the region of €4000, would this amount be readily available? Could you cope with these issues at an emotional and stressful time?
