nygatl15 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 My Fiancee still does not have her police report. Today she found out that there is a notary that can give her a report that saying she does not have a police record in china,... hmmm?, that does not sound like what she may need in the interview. I'm hoping there can be an answer for here when she wakes up. I do think it is late in the game for us not to have the police report yet. Please help.How long should it take for her to get the report?I have heard mention of her "houko"??? ... Link to comment
LeeFisher3 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 The local Notary can provide her with the information she needs to get this done, I believe she will need her household book and ID card for this. The translated police report normally is done at the Nortary, my SO had to present some papers with the Police and pay the fee, we then took that paper to the Nortary and had the police report the next day.

My SO seems to be not sure of where she should get this information. It is my thought that she will need to get documentation from more than one place, because.... She must have a "Police report from every place she lived since 16 years old"... she's 40 now, so I would think she has a few places to contact for this information Link to comment

So this is a little confusing. Link to comment

Remember, the shelf life of the Police report is limited to 1 year. Link to comment

Are you saying she may need to go through Louyang to get the police report? Link to comment
david_dawei Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 One police report for ALL of China... not separate ones. Just make sure it is stated as for ALL of China. Nothing needed for her stay in US.. that is done during namechecks... Link to comment

If she can get it for "all of CHina", your done. She can go to the Beijing locations just to confirm and say a trip in case there's another way... P.S. I just had to fix the quote issue too !

(she lived in Beijing for a few years, so she definitely needs it for all of China). i gotta call her first thing tomorrow! man, everyday it's something new! How do you guys deal with the frustration, any suggestions? (i need to relax ) Link to comment
CR1togo Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 The one we got in Shanghai says XXXX born on xx-xx-xxxx (date), now residing at xxxxxxxx had no record of criminal sanctions during her residence in CHINA up to (the date of) xx-xx-2005. I also believe you will find some old threads on this subject and GENERALLY GUZ accepts it for the whole country. (Someone previously was trying to get P.C.'s for multiple places in China BUT I BELIEVE that their hukou checks the reference base for the entire nation. acw Link to comment
Dan R Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 In China, Japan and Korea the family registration system is used. It contains all personal data from birth to death and is kept at your hometown. This is where the notorial information is taken from to meet the visa information request. There is only one source unlike the U.S. where it is disjointed and information can be left anywhere you have been during your lifetime. In the U.S. they are still linking this information and it is nowhere as complete as the Asian countries that have done this for hundreds of years. Us USCs in our 40s & 50s have history that has not been put on computer so to provide the documents needed for our SOs would be impossible. For Chinese born before 1970's there may be many records missing but the notary can create the document from information provided. Because of this difference between the U.S. and Asian countries in personal data maintenance there is often confusion about what is needed by the USC. Leave it to your SO. They know what is meant by these documents. In China only one source is needed for documentation no matter where or how many places the SO has lived. Link to comment
