Obtaining Police Certificate

[jbrid 0]

Hi All!

My fiance is a Japanese citizen. She lived in Malaysia for 2 years and then Ghana for 3 years. She will need a police certificate from both countries. Can anyone provide any insight into how to get these. We are currently waiting for the NOA2 which should not come until March, but it sounds like getting these police certificate may take some time. I hope she can start the process soon. Should she start with the Malaysian and Ghana embassies in Tokyo first? Does anyone have any experience getting one from Ghana or Malaysia? I am worried about the Ghana one. I also lived there and it is usually difficult and time consuming to get these types of thing done.

Thanks for your input.

Thanks pushbrk. That is a good place to start. For Ghana it says to send $80USD to the Commissioner of Police in Accra. Again, from my experience in Ghana I cannot imagine that request being processed without some serious poking and prodding. I hope I am wrong. Malaysia says to go through your local Malaysian embassy. That one will cost ringgit 20.

My fiance has read some horror stories about these police certificates causing serious delays in the K1 process. I hope I can set her mind at ease and I hope we are able to obtain the proper documents over the next 3 months.

What would happen if she tried to move forward without them? Would it be an immediate denial or would she have an opportunity to explain why she couldn't get them?
