I guess, you should get Non-Criminal Record Certificate out of your country of origin. See your Bj Embassy for more.

I'm in China long time too, and last year in Henan, I had to bring Non-Crim Cert. out of my country of origin.

As I know, Cert. was required for USA citizens, but that rule might vary in different Provinces.

I'm not sure, if you can get Cert. out of PSB (Exit-entry Police).

My personal knowledge of this:

I recently got one for a Chinese friend who is in Australia.

The process is a little different for Chinese people. I had to go to her Hukou office and get a form with a stamp first.

You will have to go to the police station where you registered your residence. It takes a couple of days at no cost to you. Then go to the notary office to get it stamped. This step can be a bit of a nightmare.

In addition, I do know of an ex-colleague (foreigner) who was immigrating to Canada because she married a Canadian guy. She had to personally go to the police station where she was registered and it was no trouble.

Please update how it goes for our information.

No, I don't personally know.

But someone asked this in a different forum, and someone replied saying that X says Y should do it, Y says Z should do it, and Z says X should do it....

so, expect a lot of running around and being BSed by lazy arse incompetent morons!

(from what was worked out - Notary office! But probably after police - Notary office only puts (more) official stamps on things - it should be a police matter (you know...criminals... police...!! go figure!)
