German police certificate

[olafgypsy 0]

Looking for members who have had to obtain a German police certificate (certificate of good conduct is the term in Germany, I believe). How long did it take, from the time you filed your request with the issuing office, to the time you received the certificate? The reason I'm wondering is because my fiance, who lives in Colombia, spent a year in Germany and is therefore required to get one. It seems like a lonnnggg process: the issuing office does not accept faxes -- they do everything via snail mail. I'm just hoping to get a general idea of what the processing time is like.

Karin's will take approx. two weeks(filed in person so am not sure of other methods available). Depends on the area and how many places lived/registered, I imagine.

After filling the form on-line, and then taking it to the German embassy with the proper documentation to be validated, I sent it to Germany by UPS overnight on Feb. 23rd it arrived on the morning of the 24th, it was returned by airmail on the 26th, and I received it on the 27^th when I got home from work. It took a total of 4 days when I was expecting it to be a minimum of a 2 week wait, so you can expect it to arrive within the 2 week period.
