British tourists visiting Spain will not benefit from a new Guardia Civil service allowing European citizens to report crimes online using their national digital identification.
It means eligible tourists and residents can file reports without visiting a Guardia Civil station.
British residents with the correct digital documents will now be able to avoid travelling to a Guardia Civil station for certain routine reports.
Reports submitted online are handled 24 hours a day by the Guardia Civil’s National Office for Online Crime Reports, known as ON-RED.
The Guardia Civil says the initiative, introduced under its Safe Tourism Plan, will make reporting crimes faster and reduce pressure on local stations.
