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

Organisations 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 members 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.

Australia

Channel Islands

The Channel Islands have citizens advice bureaux in Jersey[4] and Gurnsey.[5]

Gibraltar

New Zealand

Spain

A Spanish citizens advice organisation exists largely serving the British expat community in Spain.[8]
