Hello, we just got the instructions document from the Lima embassy, a little bit belated.

There are three documents that my fiance does not know what they are. Hopefully someone here has been around the block and can shed some insight. I am planning on calling the embassy tomorrow, but they only take calls from 2-3pm and they can be difficult to get a hold of.

The instructions list them with a government institution and a street in Lima. Is this the only place to obtain these documents? Are these places able to provide the documents in the same day, or is there some turnaround time from when they are requested?

My fiance lives a 1.5 hour plane ride from Lima, so if we can't get them all in the same day, it would be a major burden.

The documents are:

certificado judicial de antecedentes penales - google translates this as "criminal justice certificate"

Certificado de antecedentes judiciales a nivel nacional - "Certificate of criminal records nationwide"

Certificado policial - "police certificate"

If you've been through the process with a Peruvian finace, where did you obtain these documents from?

They are all common documents in Peru, the first 2 at the Ministerio de Justicia, or the local court where she lives, smaller towns would probably not do and she would have to go at least to the capital de provincia o departamento. Last one at the local police station. This might have changed but usually you pay the fees at the local Banco de la Nacion, and BTW, that might be a good place to ask where exactly to go get it and how to do it. It usually takes a few days to get the paperwork, maybe a bit more in the town where she lives is small and there is no real computer network available.

DOn't go by google, not possible/easy to translate but essentially those 3 docs are the equivalent to doing a background check state side.

The first one loosely is a document that shows record of prison time, the second is a record of felonies and/or crimes your significant other has been accused of in a court and the last one is a record of police reports on her for minor offenses. Obviously you want that all 3 docs show no record of prison, crimes and police actions.

In Lima and major metropolitan areas it might be possible to get them same day, but from what you say she lives, it seems not likely.

Good luck

My husband and I were talking about this topic yesterday. If she has anybody that she can stay with for a few days while collecting these documents, it would really help to reduce the stress of trying to get them all at once, not to mention when it is time for the interview or the medical appointment(s) before that interview.
