For China there are many districts in a City. Will one police certificate for example, from the city of Chongqing cover all districts my fiancée lived?

Yes. Best to get the report from the district her HUKOU book is 'homed' to. FWIW, that report is NATIONWIDE, in scope.

Also, if you lived in a country before, you might not be required to obtain a Police Certificate from that country. So as an example, if your home country is Mexico, but you lived in South Korea before for 2 years, then you do not need a Police Certificate from South Korea as you are outside of that country now, you cannot obtain a Police certificate. You need to search the Department of State web site and check the information for each country by searching for "Reciprocity" table for the relevant country.

Hey Audy_Rob, I hadn't seen that before. So, if my fiancee was born in the Soviet Union in what is today Russia but for the last 20 years (since the fall of the wall) she has only lived in and is a citizen of the Ukraine, are you saying that she does not need a police report from Russia?

Thanks, Casper

No, I am saying if you are a National of one country, and left it (like Mexico) to live in a particular country (such as South Korea), then you return to Mexico, you are not expected to get a Police Certificate because you cannot mail the South Korean government to get a police certificate.

I am using South Korea specifically because once you are outside that country, the US Government knows South Korea does not provide police certificates.

So you need to go to the Department of State web site to get the instructions for each country you lived in outside your home country. Some of those countries will not provide police certificates such as South Korea. So you are not required to provide a police certificate from South Korea.

If you now live in the Ukraine, go to the DOS web site and search for Reciprocity. Go to the Reciprocity table and select the country you had lived in before. Then scroll down to the Police Certificate information and it will say available, not available or available only to those living in the country at the time.

I'm sorry for that double post... the website didn't respond so I closed down my browser and it automatically refreshed when I opened it back up. I couldn't find an edit button, so my apologies.

My Fiance stayed in London for 7 months but she moves to different places. She only got the CRB for background check. Does she still need the Police Clearance or the CRB would be enough evidence in Manila embassy?
