Barcelona City Council Residents’ Information (OACs)

For support and help in understanding or accessing council services, Barcelona City council runs a network of one-stop-shop information centres for residents of the city. These are distributed around the urban area. Normally you can carry out processes related to council services or hand in documents for other public administrations as well. These centres are known as OACs (Oficina d’Atenció Ciutadana in Catalan).
