Hi,
I worked in Zurich for 1 year on a work permit. Nowadays I am in Canada. I have applied for Permanent Residency here which needs a police clearance (No police record certificate) from every country where I lived for more than 6 months.

When I came back from zurich I de-registered from Kreisburo and they gave me a certificate which has written on it "Abmeldebestatigung", which is issued by "Personenmeldeamt Stadt Zurich" department. I couldn't translate these words. So I am wondering is this the right document which states I am all clean from Zurich ??

If not, then can anybody kindly guide me how to get a NOC(No Objection Certificate) from Zurich Police while I am in Canada?

Please help.

You probably need a Strafregister. You can apply for it online here but I'm not sure if they will issue it if you aren't resident here but you can always ask them.

Takes about a week to process.

you don't need the whole Strafregister (which is the criminal register) more an "Auszug des Strafregisters" which will be a paper stating you don't have a record (you hope!)

To expand on the previous responses:

"Abmeldebestätigung" is only a confirmation that you de-registered.

What you need for the Canucks is an excerpt from your criminal record (in High German called "Strafregisterauszug").

You can order that excerpt here

from the Swiss gubmnt, and of course a small fee applies.

Hi ,
I have been to above website. I think that's not applicable in my case as I am not a Swiss citizen. I tried to fill the order form for a no-criminal-record certificate, but it never asks the duration (from __date to __date) when I was in Zurich. So, I think it is for citizens only who live there permanently.

So what to do ? Whom I should contact ? Please help

Hi Lob,
How can I get "Auszug des Strafregisters" ? What's the procedure ? Can you guide me step by step ?

regards

Tomcat's given you the page....

I suggest you contact them directly to ask more specific questions; you might have to dig around the website...

I gave you the page / link to the Web site. It comes in English. It is easy. It is for non-citizens (I am one of them and I got a Strafregisterauszug through the site).

Do we need to explain it using marbles and sticks?



Here, one more step:
