Police record/certificate of good conduct - translation needed? (Dutch beneficiary, but interview will be in Germany)

[STDEV 0]

Does a certificate of good conduct in Dutch require a certified translation either for the document upload or the interview? Interview will be in Frankfurt, so the certificate won't be in the local language of the interview location. Thanks.

Yes, a certified translation should be uploaded with the certificate.  Frankfurt processes visas for the Dutch people but if not in German or English, a translation is required.

@pushbrk Thanks for confirming and for the fast reply. My beneficiary partner signed up for an appointment with local NL municipality to get the certificate because it doesn't look like it can be done online in her case. Unfortunately the soonest appointment just to apply for the certificate is about two months away (plus up to four weeks to get it in the mail after), so that certificate will be the main hold up in submitting everything to NVC.

 

Do you know if uploading a proof of that appointment and draft of her application for the certificate of conduct would be a way to proceed with the DS260 (and affidavit of support) stage in parallel while she waits for that appointment? (and then show the certificate and certified translation at the interview). I'm assuming no but figured I'd ask. She does not have a criminal record. We are looking into ways to expedite the appointment or get the certificate sooner but it's not looking promising. Thanks.
