Citizens advice bureaux outside the United Kingdom

Citizens advice organisations based upon the United Kingdom advice charity can be found in Spain, Gibraltar, New Zealand, Australia and the Channel Islands.

Organistions based on the British Citizens Advice charity exist in a number of jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom. Although none of these organisations is controlled by the British charity, they adopt the branding and identity of Citizens Advice to varying degrees. Some are a member of Citizens Advice International, an umbrella organisation created in 2004 to "represent the interests of independent free advice-giving organisations around the world".[1] It has 12 members.[1] However, the membership of Citizens Advice International also includes other national advice organisations totally unrelated to the British Citizens Advice, such as the Polish Związek Biur Porad Obywatelskich (ZBPO).[2] For a list of the organisations equivalent and comparable to Citizens Advice, where they exist in other nations, see List of advice organisations by country.
