"To request a police certificate, Japanese applicants will need:
Passport(valid original; photo copy is not acceptable)
Either of the following documents
1. An official copy of your Resident Record/ "Juminhyo"(issued within the last six months)
2. A document issued by the government or other official offices that shows your name and address(e.g. Alien Registration Certificate, Resident Register Card /"Jumin Kihondaicho Card" and etc.)
U.S. Embassy dated "Immigrant Visa Instructions" or request for a police certificate. If you have an I-130 petition with NVC in the U.S. and received DS-3032(Choice of Address and Agent), NVC will send an applicant or agent the instruction package. Please follow the instruction by NVC."
My wife tried the police station yesterday and they said she needs proof she needs a police certificate too. It sounds like it will be in some packet that she will get with special instructions to do so.
