Police record in China

[Jakepearce 1]

Hi guys, my fiancé just mailed out the first package, and I’m here trying to get things done ASAP so I can hand in all the documents when I receive the notice of action. I’m currently in China, I’ve lived here for 2 months now, I’m from Hong Kong and hold a Hong Kong ID. 

How can I get the police record from the PSB? What documents will I need? And what will I need to do? Thanks!

You don't need a PC if your stay was under 6 mos.

 

Police Records

Generally available, reliable. Persons should apply for a certificate of no criminal record at the local Public Security Bureau (PSB) (or certain types of employers such as state owned enterprises), then make application to the notary office for a certificate based on the PSB document. Persons without a criminal record will be able to obtain a certificate to that effect. Certificates for individuals with one or more criminal convictions will list all convictions for which records still exist. The certificates purport to reflect all criminal convictions during residence in China. Police records are generally not available for the period prior to 1949. Certificates are available for those in the J-1, Z, and X categories. The GOC does not issue police records for temporary residents of China in L or F visa categories.

I just want to speed up the whole process. I’ll need one whenever they’re asking me to, it’s already the third month I’m staying in China. So I just wanna get it early and don’t have to wait till they’re asking me to because I don’t know how long it is gonna take to get the police record.
