German / French Police certificates

[Joshua Kaufman 1]

My fiancee will have get police certificates from three different countries (UK, France [specifically Martinique] and Germany) for her K-1 and so timing is quite important for us.

Can anyone tell me where she should go and what forms are needed for obtaining police certificates from Germany and/or France? Thanks!

HI Joshua...for Germany it should be fairly easy to get the certificate. Tell her to go to the Einwohnermeldeamt or Kreisverwaltungsreferat in the city she lives in (if it is Munich, as your profile states, she has to go to the Kreisverwaltungsreferat) and ask for a police certificate for private purposes. It's not hard to get and she should receive it within 10 business days. Make sure she doesn't go and get it too early though, because it is only valid for about 6 months. About the one from France I don't know (sorry) but maybe somebody from France will see this here and has some info for you.

Good luck.

You can get the UK request form here:

Please note - it will take 40 days for you to receive this once they receive (it almost never comes before that), so send it early or it will hold your processing up! (Speaking from experience...)
