Police certificate?

[zentaco 28]

Hi everyone, I have another question.

When I emailed my local police as to how long a check would take, they told me that it was around 3-4 weeks (or longer if issues, but I've never had any run-ins with the law, myself). That's a decent amount of time, so I was curious whether anyone here got their certificates in advance? How long are they generally good for, if there's an expiry? Or should I just wait like the consulate suggested? Unfortunately patience isn't one of my top virtues, but would rather not screw anything up or jinx myself.

Usually police certificates are valid from 6 months to 1 year from the date of issue, but its different in each country.

I got mine done in Ontario,Canada in my hometown, at the 4mos point after nao1..in Canada is valid for a year. It only took a week to come back. Make a photocopy to keep , as the original must be handed in at the interview.
