Hi All.  I have questions about the Police Certs.  My hubby has lived in Cyprus Greece, Germany, US and of course home country UK.  Has anyone ever requested Police Certs from Greece or Germany?  I cant find much info and they want the money wired to them and I don't want to screw that up.  Our Attorney says my hubby doesn't need one from the US. HELP.  I appreciate any and all advice. Thanks.

how long did it take from the time you requested it, to time you received it?

They processed it pretty quickly, but it took about a week for my letter (request) to get to them, which was weird since it shouldnt take more than a couple of days from Estonia, but anyway.. They issued it within a week or less. But, another thing is that the man I talked to on the phone (same man who writes the certificate) said he doesnt trust international mail and wanted to send it to a German address, so I had him send it to my friend's address who then sent it to me. Keep in mind you'll need it translated aswell.. they only issue the certificates in German😊

I am stressed out over these police certs.  I guess I can call them.

call who? Does your husband have friends in Germany who could receive the certificate and have it translated and then send it to you/ your husband? They only issue those in German, there is no way around that.

No friends in Germany. He was 16 when he lived there.  I guess we will have to make do with it in German.
