Police Certificate and how to get it

[Invictus]

Has anyone heard of a police certificate proving no criminal record? Does my fiancee in China need this? Also, if she does, does anyone know what this is called in Chinese?

Should be obtained from the PSB office having jurisdiction over where her household book says she lives.

In many places PSB is located in the Notorial office, the police record needs to be translated at the notorial office.

Documents

Most of the documents listed below can be obtained from one of China's Notarial Offices (Gong Zheng Chu). All Chinese documentation to be used abroad is processed through the notary offices and issued in the form of notarial certificates. Notarial offices are located in all major Chinese cities and in rural county seats. These offices are part of the Ministry of Justice structure, but are separate from the people's court system.

Police Records

Generally available, reliable. Persons should apply for a certificate of no criminal record at the local Public Security Bureau (PSB) (or certain types of employers such as state owned enterprises), then make application to the notary office for a certificate based on the PSB document. Persons without a criminal record will be able to obtain a certificate to that effect. Certificates for individuals with one or more criminal convictions will list all convictions for which records still exist. The certificates purport to reflect all criminal convictions during residence in China.

Note, single certificate and police certificate should be acquired perhaps a month or so prior to interview, not when filing the petition.
