Certificate of good conduct; application for comparable proof by non-EU citizens
Some administrative procedures require the provision of a certificate of good conduct. Non-EU citizens may be required to provide comparable proof.
Description
Non-EU citizens may be required to provide proof comparable to the German certificate of good conduct (e.g. an official certificate of good conduct or an extract from the criminal record of the home country or an equivalent document). This proof must be requested from the competent authority in the home country.
If you are a non-EU citizen and require a German certificate of good conduct for official or private purposes, you can apply for one at your local municipality. You can find further information under "Related topics".
