Show answer and explanation
✓ La Policía Nacional
The Policía Nacional (the national police) is in charge of passport control at borders and airports, and also of issuing the DNI (national identity card) and the passport. It is a key duty in immigration and foreigners' affairs. The Guardia Civil watches the border in a wide sense, above all on coasts and in rural areas, but the control of travel documents at border posts belongs to the Policía Nacional. The local police do not do it.
