Criminal and Police Records Checklist Item for K1 Visa of Peruvian Beneficiary

[nascentsoul 0]

Hi there,

 

I am working on the I-129F application. For those who have petitioned or are petitioning a Peruvian fiancé, what are the names of the Peruvian institutions that can provide a police report or criminal record?

 

Would you kindly share the name of the institution, the address, the cost of the document, and the turnaround time to get each document?

 

Many thanks,

S

Police Records

Available: Yes. To those 18 and older.

Fees: S/17 Nuevos Soles (approximately $6 dollars)

Document Name: Certificado de Antecedentes Policiales (Certificate of Police Record)

Issuing Government Authority: Records are issued by the Peruvian National Police (Policia Nacional del Peru) at local police stations.

Special Seal(s) / Color / Format: Police Records are issued on green paper with the heading "Policia Nacional del Peru, Division de Identificacion, Certificado de Antecedentes Policiales." A scanned copy of the applicant's photo also appears on the certificate.

Issuing Authority Personnel Title: Police Commanderor Commissar.

Registration Criteria: Applicants without criminal records will have "No Registra Antecedentes" (does not have records) printed on the form.

Procedure for Obtaining: Police records are available for applicants age 18 and over. The applicant must pay the appropriate fee at any Banco de La Nacion branch and then complete the process in an authorized police station.

Certified Copies: Not Available.

Alternate Documents: A police record may be issued to residents or non-residents upon application to "Policia de Investigaciones del Peru, Division de Identificacion Criminalistica de Lima," Av. Aramburu No. 550, Lima 34. The applicant must first request a fingerprint chart (ficha de canje internacional) and provide one photo. Processing time is normally three days. There is a small fee.

Exceptions: None

Comments: This document may not contain an accurate listing of all police records since there is no national database and each precinct maintains its own record. Therefore, for immigrant visa processing, the Consular Section in Lima requires 1) Certificado de Antecedentes Policiales, 2) Certificado Judicial de Antecedentes Penales, and 3) Certificado de Antecedentes Judiciales a Nivel Nacional.

 

Note that the beneficiary's police records are not required with the I-129F petition.  The police records will be required at the K1 visa interview.
