Mobile fingerprinting in Spain
Mobile fingerprinting in Spain means a technician brings professional digital equipment to your home, hotel or office in Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia — and the prints go to the FBI electronically, not in an envelope.
For a limited time we waive the mobile technician fee — normally €125 and up — for appointments in covered areas of Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia. A technician brings professional digital fingerprinting equipment to your home, hotel or office.

Cities we serve
Madrid
Comunidad de Madrid
A technician brings digital fingerprinting equipment to you anywhere in the Madrid metropolitan area, and the prints go to the FBI electronically the same day. The technician fee is waived while the promotion runs.
The three Madrid stations are not in MadridThe U.S. Embassy lists three police units for the Comunidad de Madrid — Móstoles, Pozuelo de Alarcón and Alcalá de Henares. None of them is in the city. They sit roughly 18 km, 10 km and 35 km out, and each takes prints for one hour a week: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 11:00 respectively. Missing that hour costs you a week. An appointment at your own address costs you half an hour.
Fingerprinting in Madrid →Barcelona
Cataluña
Digital fingerprinting at your flat, hotel or office anywhere in the Barcelona metropolitan area, submitted electronically to the FBI. The technician fee is waived while the promotion runs.
Catalonia is policed by the Mossos, not the Policía NacionalEvery set of instructions written for the rest of Spain describes the Policía Nacional. Catalonia has its own force, and the single unit on the Embassy's list for the Barcelona area is the Mossos d'Esquadra scientific-police unit on Carrer del Taquígraf Garriga — mornings on Monday and Wednesday, afternoons on Tuesday and Thursday. It is the only one in the metropolitan area, which is why the queue is what it is, and why advice you read for Madrid will not match what you find at the counter.
Fingerprinting in Barcelona →Valencia
Comunidad Valenciana
A technician meets you in the Valencia metropolitan area with digital capture equipment and files the FBI submission electronically. The technician fee is waived while the promotion runs.
The station is the easy part here. The channel is not.Valencia has the most workable counter in Spain: the Jefatura Superior on Gran Vía de Ramón y Cajal, Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 13:00, no appointment needed. We are not going to pretend that trip is hard. What it hands you is an inked FD-258 card, which you then post to the United States and wait on — the FBI's postal channel is measured in weeks. Our appointment ends with an electronic submission and a report typically back in 24–48 hours. In Valencia the argument isn't the journey, it's what you are holding when you leave.

Not in one of the three? Post us the card.
Outside Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia we don't have a technician to send you. What we do have is the list of police stations that take FD-258 prints, the sentence to say at the desk, and an address to post the finished card to — we take it from there.
Doing the whole thing yourself instead? The same list is there, with official hours and a warning on the two addresses worth confirming by phone before you set off.
