police certificate from France

[shakti_ 0]

Hey all,

I lived in France for 9 months last year and have just found out that it means I need another police certificate from France too!! I am horrified, somehow I never noticed that. Now I started researchin how the hell I get the police certificate from France. Is this the right link? https://www.cjn.justice.gouv.fr/cjn/b3/EJE20

Should I send the letter of request to Direction des Affaires criminelles et des grâces?

Also as far as I understand there are three types of buletins? Which one do I need? #1, 2, or 3? I've never had any problms with the police. And will they send it to me to Ukraine? I am really getting worried because I didn't even get a residene permit while I was there. They kept giving me some other papers. And it always took ages to get them anyway.

We got my NOA 2 last week and I really want to finish this asap. Now i am really concerned this paper may make me stay longer.

If anyone can help me I would appreciate that.

Merci beacoup si vous pouvez m'aider.

OK, I am not digging out all my notes and records right now, but if I recall correctly a police certificate is only required if you lived in another country more than 1 year after age 16. Also the consulate has told us that our son will not need one for Russia as he is there as a student, not for more than one year AND it is not "officially" a change of residence, he is "officially" a resident of Ukraine. Don't know if any of that helps

Each consulate is different (some is 1 yr, some is 6 mos.)... My wife was a student in Moldova and had to have a PC from there...

Thank you all. I think I have exactly the same problem. Somehow exactly for fiancee visa it's 6 months and not one year. Already sent my urgent demand to France.

Hi all,

Getting the police certificate "extrait de casier judiciaire" is a piece of cake. They don't ask crazy documentation, it's free and they usually send it within 2/3 days. At least when u fill online as a french citizen. It shouldn't take much longer if you are born outside France.

Good luck with that one, but don't worry it's definitly not the most difficult document to get when filling!!

Thank you.

You are right. I sent them an email and they replied right away and hopefully sent it to me the next morning, having doublechecked my adress before. I'm impressed. Wish they did the same in Ukraine. Waiting for it now.
