The Central Registry of Sexual Offenders and Human Trafficking prevents a person from working with minors. As criminal lawyers, we explain the periods and how to have a record cancelled.

Concept

Created by Organic Law 8/2015. Entry is automatic after conviction. The certificate is mandatory for: teachers, youth workers, coaches, healthcare staff, carers.

Periods

Minor offences: 10 years. Less serious offences: 15-20 years. Serious offences: 25-30 years. Counted from the full extinction of criminal liability.

Effects

An inability to work with minors, the certificate required by employers, and a possible impact on custody.
