Cost: Free (no fee is mentioned on the pages read).

What you need

• A valid ID or passport (Guardia Civil page).
• For online reports, the reference number and a signature at the station within 72 hours (Policía Nacional page).

Steps

1. Call 091 or 112 if it is happening now
   The online denuncia page says crimes in progress are reported by calling 091 or 112.
2. Decide: online first, or in person
   The Policía Nacional online denuncia (Spanish, English, French, German screens) cannot be used if there was violence or intimidation, the author is known or could be recognized, there are witnesses, the reporter is a minor, or the facts are violent or sexual. Online reports only go to the Policía Nacional.
3. If you filed online, sign at the police station
   The online page says you must sign the report at the station you chose as soon as possible and no later than 72 hours, bringing the reference number you receive; without the signature the report has no legal validity.
4. Or go in person
   The Policía Nacional list of denuncia offices for Las Palmas province shows one office on Lanzarote: Arrecife, Oficina de Denuncias, C/ Mastelero, s/n. The page does not say which municipalities it serves. The Tías Policía Local phone is 928 83 41 01 (council contact page).
5. Bring ID
   The Guardia Civil page says to show an ID (DNI, passport or other valid document); the officer records your statement in writing and both sign it.
