If someone from the UK wanted to move to tenerife but they had a small criminal record from over 20 yrs ago (no prison time done or anything that serious) would this stop them getting a residencia from the police station?

No , thet just do a cursory check of the paperwork you fill in which does not ask anything about previous records , then they issue the Certificado de Registro - not a residencia - you are just registering you are staying in Canaries .

If they didn´t want you in the country you would be flagged up at passport control .

"Would a minor criminal record stop you getting residencia?"

strangely enough if you were returning to the uk and are considering working in a job that has background checks (Airports for example) it might be wise to get the Spanish Police to write you a Police report so you can prove you are of good character.....

Valid criminal record certificates for all countries in which the applicant has been
