Hello,
My partner and I are trying to get a poilice clearance (in China). And it has proven to be quite annoying. Today we just took our 3rd trip to the police station and they keep asking for more and more documentation (rather than just providing a list in the 1st place).
Anyway, the person in charge said that he after we get the correct documentation, he will write a statment saying my partner has no criminal record and sign it. ( but will not stamp it or anything). Basically it will be just a handwritten document with a signature of a police officer. Somthing tells me that this isnt what immigration is looking for. However, in all the guides and instuctions I have read, I havnt seen anything that states what a police clearance should entail. Perhaps I overlooked something. But i am not so confident with a piece of paper signed by a police officer who doesnt seem to know what he is doing.
Any insight would be much appreciated

Hmmm.... this is what you SHOULD be getting.... is "police station" the same as "Public Security Bureau"?
How to obtain a police certificate
People’s Republic of China(see also Hong Kong and Macao) Do I need to provide a police certificate when applying for permanent residence? The original police certificate must be submitted along with the application for permanent residence, and must be accompanied by an English or French translation prepared by an accredited translator. Please note that no fee is required to obtain a Chinese police certificate for both residents and non-residents of China. How and where do I obtain one? Local Requests
Non-Chinese nationals:
Non-Resident Requests
The person acting on your behalf must present the documents to the local Public Security Bureau. |

Thanks Mrs Sam for the quick reply,
Yes, police station and Public Security Bureau are the same thing in China.
Yeah I knew that much info from the CIC website but its still kinda vague as to what the content of police clearance should entail. .
My partner is a chinese resident and we went to her local publlic security bureau with her Hukuo and her Id but they said it wasnt enough and they wanted a letter from the place we currently live at stating that she has no criminal record and has not done anything illegal etc (as if they would know that info )
Now the police are telling her to go to her old residence (the residence stated on her ID) to get some kind of letter from them stating she has no criminal record which is impossible since she hasnt lived there in years ..deosnt make any sence..
Does anyone know what a typical police clearance looks like?

My wife had to get a police certificate from China. I think I have a copy of it at home. When I get home I will look at it and scan it for you. I will also ask my wife what she did, I do not think it was that difficult. I am sure she just went with her hukou and ID and they looked her up on the computer.

My wife's police clearance was 1 line of type written text from the police office. It said:
XXXX is not guilty of any offences against the public order.
We took it down to the local notary who translated it into English and applied the municipal seal and all that shtuff. I too can scan you a copy if I can find it.
As she is with me in Canada now, I am guessing it was also sufficient. Different cities different policies in China I think.
