cheque: garantizado, bancario or conformada.

8 years ago

I am renewing my US passport for renewal of my Spanish visa. I need one of the 3 types of checks listed above to submit to Madrid with my passport application. However, I do not have a Spanish bank account and the bank said they cannot issue any type of check unless of having an account with them. US checks and credit card not accepted on mail-in applications. In US, it is easy to get a certified check regardless of whether or not you have a bank account. Any ideas? I have sent a message to the US Embassy in Madrid but haven't heard back yet.
