Central Office of Foreign Affairs and Documentation.


Explanation:
From my experience when we lived in Spain we always just refered to it as the (Central) Office of Foreign Affairs but if you prefer to include and Documentation I would use the above.

Central Immigration Agency / Office of Immigration Affairs


Explanation:
This sounds like a governmental agency in charge of immigration. Including "documentation" may not be necessary.

Extranjería = Immigration / Immigration Affairs
Documentación = Documentation

Another option might be "Bureau of Immigration Services" :-)

Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services
The former Immigration and Naturalization Service. Information and services available to the public.
uscis.gov/graphics/aboutus/history/ - 15k

Depending on the scope of the agency's responsabilities, you might even include the term "citizenship" or "naturalization."

Central Immigration Agency / Office of Immigration Affairs / Bureau of Immigration Services

Explanation:
(Or any other possible wording that appropriately describes the "Brigada Central de Extranjería y Documentación".) This is a division of the Spanish "Policía Nacional," and is not actually related to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ("Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores"), but rather is a part of the "Ministerio del Interior" ("Ministry of the Interior".
