Need for the Document

A police certificate is an official document issued by police or government agency of a country to enumerate any criminal records that the applicant may or may not have. Criminal records may include arrest, conviction, and possibly criminal proceedings.

Good conduct certificates ("certificado de buena conducta") are issued by any of the four judicial judges in Andorra (Battles), viz., two French "Battles" and two Episcopal "Battles". A certificate of good conduct is understood to be obtainable only if the interested party has been a recent resident of Andorra and is known to the authorities.

Information which might help

If the subject's information does not hit on any information in the database, the requestor will receive the results instantly over the Internet and the requestor can print out the "No Record" certificate. Eighty percent of the time, "No Record" certificates are returned immediately through the Internet to the requestor. If the subject's information hits on something in the database, the requestor receives an immediate "Request Under Review" response.

Other uses of the Document/Certificate
