i have this problem about this police certificates. i stayed in a city (aside from my permanent residence) for 10 years, 1990-2000 for my college and post grad studies. the police won't issue a certificate that states my length of stay there (as stated in requirements for DS 230). what will i do? i only stayed in that place during class days (i go home every weekends)and i never change my address. it was just a dormnitory. do i have to obtain this police clearance? thanks...

Re: Obtaining police certificates

Hi jing16th,
i think PNP will just state in your police certificate that you have"NO CRIMINAL RECORDS as far as their office is concerned. i asked recently in our PNP office, only the finger printing is what they did, i believe that there were some offices has no finger printing, and the big statement stating that I have no criminal records. anyway, you can include the years or what you wish in your ds230. for instrance in this case, , if you have derogatory records before i don't think so that will be obliterated on their current records. all should be intact. so years won't matter anymore. that's my personal opinion .May God bless us all.
