Criminal Record and P.O. Box question

[Kevinbolts 0]

My girlfriend is going to get her criminal record, she is living in Germany right now but moving to Italy next month to start the K-1 process. Can we obtain the records online or do we have to go to the police station or office? Do the records need to be translated and notarized?

Also I am going to be using a P.O. Box for this whole process. I have not started the process and want to send in the I-129F package next week. Where should I state my address as a P.O. box instead of my home address on any forms? Thank you!

you can apply with the closest German consulate in Italy. you fill out a form and a couple of weeks later you'll get a letter with the police records.

if i remember correctly, they only issue police records in german language; so for her interview she'll need to translate it.

Unless a form specifically asks for a physical address (e.g. intended address of beneficiary), you can use your PO Box in the address field on all forms. I did this and had no issues.
