Chilean police certificate

[Iscir 295]

A question for Chileans: For NVC/Interview, can we use the free police certificate we can get online? Or it has to be the one you get in person at the Registro Civil? When i get the police certificate on the registro civil's website it has bad formatting so i am not sure if i can use that one.

Thanks. I saw that website but I was wondering if maybe they haven't updated it. It is only since this year that we can get the police certificate for free online, like birth certificates. They do accept the free birth certificate so I wanted to know if it was the same for police certificates

Hopefully somebody can confirm or deny it. If not, when in doubt, go by the official guide posted above.
