Police Record Check Germany

[Ken&TJ 0]

Hi I am Canadian & have had my interview at the US Consulate in Vancouver. I lived in Ramstein Nato Base Germany for a few years & am required to get a Police Records Check in order to get my final Visa. Could someone please post any information they might have as to where I can obtain this?

Thank you.

Your guess is as good as mine!

Anyway, if you don't have it by time of interview, the consulate will approve pending you getting it.

The German consulate says it will come in German. Do I need to get it translated before I send it to the US Consulate? Also.. would I need it translated by someone with credentials?

Thanks for your help.
