Your exact document checklist.

Generic checklists get people rejected.  The criminal-record certificate you need depends on where you lived, not your passport.  A diploma has to be apostilled a specific way.  A PEO can quietly sink the whole case.  Answer a few questions and I’ll build the precise list for your situation, with the apostille chain, the validity clocks, and the traps most people miss.

Why a generic checklist gets people rejected

Spain’s Ley 28/2022 asks for public documents that are apostilled in the country that issued them (never where you live now) and it reads criminal records by residence in the last few years, not citizenship. Miss that and the file comes back with a requerimiento that costs weeks.  This generator encodes the rules I use on real cases: the FBI check vs. the ACRO certificate, the federal-vs-state apostille distinction, the notarised True Copy a diploma needs first, and the PEO problem that stops the Certificate of Coverage cold.

Built for planning.  Every case has its own wrinkles. Have me confirm your list before you spend a cent on apostilles.
