Police Certificates in Peru

[Lindsey y Koki 0]

We recieved a letter from the NVC stating that our petition has been sent to the Lima embassy today!!! Yay!!! I have a few questions for anyone who has already been through this process.

For the certificado policial, certificado judicial de antecedentes penales and certificado de antecedentes judiciales a nivel nacional, can these be done in the Departments or only in Lima? My fiance is from Huaraz (Ancash) and says there are INPE and Ministerio del Publico offices there. Does he really have to go all the way to Lima to get these?

For the birth certificate, I understand this has to be certified at REINIC, can this also be done in the department, or only in Lima. I have also heard something about the Ministerio de relaciones exteriores, do they need to stamp it also?

Last question, from looking at the forum, I am almost certain that these documents do NOT need to be translated into English but can anyone reassure me of this?

Thanks so much for your help!!

No, the docs do not have to be translated into english. Not sure about your question of getting the docs in Huaraz. Just call the embassy and ask. Call between 2 -3 for K-1 questions. I called twice and they were very helpful. My fiancee Roxana knows where to go to get all the docs in Lima if you need help.
