  "account": "Costa Blanca residents and tourists now have the option to report certain crimes online to the Guardia Civil. This new system simplifies the reporting process for European citizens and tourists, including those from the 23 EU countries recognized under the eIDAS regulation. Citizens can submit reports through their national digital credentials without visiting a Guardia Civil station. The service covers cases such as damage, theft, stolen vehicles, fraudulent bank card charges, and lost documentation. The online reporting system is accessible 24/7 and provides forms in six languages for international users.

Reports can be submitted through the Guardia Civil's online service at guardiacivil.sede.gob.es.",
