Is in mandatory that police certificate be provided to NVC for case completion?

[AMT7565 5]

Anyone know if the police reports must be submitted prior to NVC closing the case and scheduling an interview date, OR, it is OK to take the police report when you go for the interview?

Thanks

For Sri Lanka, you submit to NVC. Some countries will only issue and deliver a certificate to a US Consulate. Sri Lanka isn't one of those.

Police Records

If you are a resident of Sri Lanka:

Submit your application for Police clearance certificate at the Police headquarters - 31, Olcott Mawatha, Pettah, Colombo 12 (Police Welfare Building at the Police headquarters) with the following documents:

1. Photocopy of National ID card.

Women who use their husband's family name must submit a copy of the marriage certificate and an affidavit stating the maiden name and the name after the marriage.

2. Photocopy of birth certificate.
3. Photocopy of passport.
4. A fee of 500 LKR.

The clearance certificate will be mailed to your address by registered post in approximately 3-4 weeks.

Download the application form for the police clearance certificate. Application forms are also available at the police headquarters.

If you reside outside of Sri Lanka:

Submit your application for Police clearance certificate at the closest Sri Lankan Diplomatic Mission with the following documents:

1. Photocopy of National ID card.

Women who use their husband's family name must submit a copy of the marriage certificate and an affidavit stating the maiden name and the name after the marriage.

2. Photocopy of birth certificate
3. Photocopy of passport

A fee of 1000 LKR or equivalent amount is charged for the service. The clearance certificate will be mailed to your address by registered post in approximately two months. Download the application form for the police clearance certificate.

You may also submit your application along with the other documents directly to the Deputy Inspector of Police, with a bank draft of 1000 LKR drawn for Deputy Inspector of Police, Police Headquarters. The clearance will be mailed directly to the applicant in approximately two months. This process is more suitable for applicants who live in a country that does not have a Sri Lankan Diplomatic Mission.

Thank you.

So looks like we must submit to NVC.

Yes, just like most folks. You submit it with the other civil documents like the originals of your birth, marriage and divorce documents, as applicable.
