The FBI requires you to provide your fingerprints to obtain your criminal records check. Please note U.S. embassies and consulates do not provide this service. Local police experts can take your fingerprints in Spain and be sent to the FBI in the U.S. together with the application form. You may print the fingerprint card from the FBI website.
