At ARC Legal, we face cases daily that demand speed, precision, and deep knowledge of legal procedures both in Spain and abroad. Today, we want to share a recent experience that highlights how our expertise and resources enabled us to resolve a complex situation in record time.
The situation
Our client, an individual applying for Spanish nationality, was in a delicate position. As part of the process, it is mandatory to submit police clearance certificates from all countries where the applicant has resided in the past five years. In this particular case, our client had lived in Spain, Jordan (their country of birth), and the United Arab Emirates.
The client already had police clearance certificates from Jordan and Spain but was unaware they also needed the document from the UAE. Adding to the pressure, the certificates from Jordan were close to expiring. Without the possibility of traveling to the UAE or relying on family or friends for assistance, the client faced a major hurdle in completing their nationality application. They risked having to delay the submission and redo all documents from Jordan (birth certificate and police clearance certificate), along with preparing new legalizations and sworn translations.
The solution
Thanks to our expertise and knowledge of international legal processes, ARC Legal took the initiative to resolve the issue. We explored all available options and, leveraging the digitalization of government services in the UAE, successfully managed to obtain the police clearance certificate remotely from Spain. This avoided the need for our client to travel to the UAE.
The result
In just 10 days, we managed to obtain, legalize, translate, and submit the UAE police clearance certificate. As a result, our client’s nationality application was completed smoothly and within the required deadlines.
Our commitment to clients
This case is yet another example of ARC Legal’s dedication to our clients. Our expertise, international network, and in-depth understanding of procedures allow us to handle complex cases efficiently and successfully.
