Hi there!

I'm brazilian, but lived for two years in Germany a few years ago.
Once I just discovered that for the my K1 interview I will need, besides my Brazilian Criminal Records, also from the Countries I've lived more than 6 months, I started the German process.

I called the German consulate, and they've asked me if the USA demands "Apostille" Certificated Criminal Records, or just the simple one. They actually assume that the simple version would be fine for the US, but they asked me to confirm that.

Does any one know about that? I hope the normal version will be enough, once the Apostille version takes much longer to be ready.

Danke schön! :)

Thanks! You don't have to worry, another user from VJ, just answered my question (which I did in another "forum" inside the forum here)

"No, all you need is a regular einfaches (privates) Führungszeugnis. Mine cost 13 Euros. "

I think the Apostille is only needed when another country wants to confirm that documents are valid in our country, or ours wants to confirm for their country. Both countries have to be in the "treaty" for it to be trusted, or able to use. Since it is a USA embassy, it should be trusted from one USA embassy to another branch....without an Apostille.
