Where it says send original you send originals.  If it's not stated then copies.

[Remomora 5]

Thanks @Greenbaum we confused because they said copy of some papers and when they didn't say copy of others we afraid that they want it originals   

[MelOe 187]

@Remomora In Germany those are exactly the documants which they want originals of, so I would tend to think they are asking your for the originals where they are not specifying that they want copies. But if you want to be on the safe side why not email them and ask?

This is such a simple process that you are only adding layers when you tell someone from a different embassy that your embassy does it this way when each embassy has different processes. Emailing or calling the embassy is just tying up the phone lines when the information that is contained in the P3 for THEIR embassy only asks for one document to be original, the other copies are OK. I would think that an embassy would specify the documents that need to be originals, wouldn't you think that?

 

Why do when do will do. Trust the process.

I would think that if the list says "a copy of" the birth certificat, but in the next line asks for "police certificate" without mentioning anything about a copy, that that means they want the original police certificate. But I know you have a lot more experience with this whole process so I stand corrected. I'm sorry if I complicated matters, definitely not my intention!

@MelOe i sent them email but they always reply on short words or links or model answer and take about 3 days to answer and am afraid because its holidays nowadays they may be late to answer and iam too late to send my papers as they didnot ask me early for sending by aramex i heard from internet and send them email to make sure they  answered me that i had to do or my interview will be canceled  although they didnot send me anything before i contact them ...my interview 15 january

Here is the P3 (which you have a copy, yours might be newer) with some other information to be aware of.

Fiance had his interview today in Abu Dhabi, and after 3 hours, was sent out with a 221g blue slip asking for more chat logs and pictures. He had chat logs from the beginning of our chatting to December, so Im a bit upset that this seems to be over missing what is about 2 weeks of chat. (from the time I mailed him packet to his interview) So, not an outright denial, but not a complete approval. We are both more than upset that this is going to drag out more.

@Greenbaum I am applying from Canada but am confused if I maybe need a police certificate from the UK too?

 

According the police info table, you only need police certificates if you lived in a country more than 12 months... which I never did in once calendar year. The most i stayed in one calendar year was between 4-6 months and I did that for 4 years. 

 

Do you think I need it? Thanks so much for your help! 

 

My interview is January 15th and I am going over all my documents and trying not to psyche myself out.

Required for all countries where you have lived for more than 6 months since the age of 16 and any country where you have been arrested, even if you were not a resident there.  U.S. police certificates are not required.  Police certificates from certain countries are unavailable or are obtained directly by your Embassy (rarely does your embassy execute this step).  Fingerprints are required for certain countries.

Thank you, on the government website it states having lived in another country for over 12 months.

Which government website? Link please.

 

This is from the US Embassy UK

 

You are required to furnish an ACRO Police Certificate issued within 6 months of the date of the visa interview. Information on obtaining the police certificate is available from the ACPO Criminal Records Office (ACRO) website. This police certificate covers the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

You are also required to complete the personal data form VCU1 (PDF), and should provide as much detail as possible concerning your arrests/cautions/convictions, including those in a third country.
