Getting help in Spain
Passports
If you’re abroad and cannot use your passport, for example if it’s been lost, stolen or damaged, you can apply for a replacement passport.
If you need to travel before your replacement passport is issued, you can apply for an emergency travel document.
Emergency assistance
Contact your travel provider and insurer if you’re involved in a serious incident or emergency abroad. They’ll tell you if they can help and what you need to do to make a claim.
We can help British nationals in emergencies abroad. We prioritise people who are vulnerable and need our help the most. Read what to do if you need help:
- finding English-speaking lawyers, funeral directors and translators and interpreters in Spain
- dealing with a death in Spain
- following an arrest in Spain
-
as a victim of crime
- with hospitalisation due to a medical emergency
Getting help
If you cannot get the support you need from local services, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) can help British people abroad.
We prioritise emergencies and people who are vulnerable, for example, if someone’s:
-
ill, injured, or involved in a crime
-
with a British person who’s died
