Hey there,

I was reading through Lotofpatience's NVC flowchart/shortcuts and I read that we need 2 original police certificates. My husband has 1 from the main police station. On the shortcut paper, it says that he needs one from the Passport office. Is that true? 2 police certificates are needed?

Also, if 2 certificates are needed, could anyone specify where a German citizen would obtain the "passport issued" certificate?

Thanks.

i think it depends on ur embassy for india we need 2, passport office, and police office

if u go to the NVC website and filter it for ur embassy, it wil tell u what u need.. u can find the link to nvc from james shortucts

Possibly someone who worked through the Frankfurt embassy knows whether I need 1 or 2 police certificates? I visited the website through James's shortcuts, but it doesn't answer my question, or maybe I am looking at the wrong spot. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
