Police report

I know the birth certificate has to have the Hague Apostille. Does the police report have to have it too? Thanks.

Which country? I've filed through two countries that didn't require an apostille on the birth certificate, but apparently you're filing through one which does, so please specify...

If they require your birth certificate to be apostiile also your police certificate for sure! In my case I need it for both

Yes, we're applying for Venezuela also. The instructions clearly say to get the Apostille for the birth certificate, but say nothing about sealed paper nor the Apostille for the police certificate. I told my fiancee not to worry about it for the police certificate as nothing was stated that it needed to be done for the police certificate. I think many people in Venezuela believe it IS necessary, but as the embassy didn't state it in their email, I told my fiancee not to get it to save her having to get up early and deal with it. I hope I didn't mess up here. Forum, your thoughts please?

The reasons I'm asking are several...1)If the embassy clearly states that the birth certificate must have the Apostille but does not indicate this for the police record, then my only conclusion is that it is not required for the police record, 2)many people appear to be enslaved to the notion that an Apostille is required for both and I would like to answer this question for them, 3)my fiancee's day for the Apostille falled after picking up the police record and when she comes to Caracas for the interview she will still have another chance to get the Apostille on her day and lastly, 4)this forum to me is the place to get help but also to get quickly to the essential truth of the procedures. So I will rephrase my question: If the letter from the embassy emphasizes the need for the Apostille for the birth certificate, but indicates nothing about the Apostille for the police record, does my fiancee need the Apostille for the police record? Thanks.

I know this is a year old thread, but can you confirm for me if only your birth certificate required Apostille and not the police record? My fiance is about to have her interview later this month and it could save us time to only do the birth certificate.

Thanks in advance.
