I know, but they still obviously need/want some proof.
Go to the Police Station! If they can't do it, they can tell you where to go. That would be a start at least.

Certificate from Police only means that person was not convicted of any crime. It has nothing to do with Military. That's why you need separate proof from Military Office or whatever office, about not serving in any armed forces.
I don't know how else to explain, but I'm just saying that you should go in person to one of those offices and they would know the best.

I guess that with the declaration of some civil authority like civil register, parish, municipality, or a document well prepared by a lawyer could work.

Don't forget to translate that document to English, and enclose notarized copy of the original.

I received the following email today from VO in Vienna:

Dear ???:

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.

We require the following documentation in order to continue processing your application:

1. Correct police clearance certificate for Serbia. The certificate you provided was issued by court and is not acceptable for immigration purposes.
2. Your original passport.
Please quote your file number, as it appears in the subject line of this message, in all correspondence with our office.


Did anyone have similar experience? Does this mean that I only have to send the following document and valid passport so that visa can be issued? Thanks...

This is from CIC web site.
"
Serbia, Republic of

Do I need to provide a police certificate when applying for permanent residence?
Yes.

Please note that a court certificate is not accepted.

How and where do I obtain one?

If You Live in Serbia
You need to obtain an Uverenje o nekaznjavanju (Certificate of no conviction) from the police station in the city and municipality (Ministarstvo Unutrasnjih Poslova, Policijska Uprava.) where you live in the Republic of Serbia. You must submit an application form and present your identification card (licna karta).

Application forms can be obtained at police stations.

If You Live Outside of Serbia
You can give a notarized statement, translated into the Serbian language and verified by the Embassy of Serbia in the country where you live now, to a relative or a friend to apply on your behalf. This certificate should be submitted at the police station where you last resided in the Republic of Serbia. A certified copy of your identification card (licna karta) will also need to be submitted.

You may also apply for the police certificate at the Embassy of Serbia closest to where you live.

Note: There is an application fee for the police certificate."

Anyways congrats, they are requesting your passport with the certificate.
Best Regards.

Hey Nole73,
I would think so. Same thing happened to my friend 5-6 years ago - they provided court certificate, and had to resend the one from the police. And soon after Vienna got it, her husband received visa.

That certificate must be from the Police Station, not court, as they say. My husband waited for it approx. 3 weeks as police does background check. But again, he was born in another part of former Yugoslavia, and he lives in another now, so they had to check his background in both countries, and that's why it took longer. If your spouse was born and still lives in the same country it shouldn't take that long.

But that's good news !! It sounds like they are almost done and just need that last bit of the information

Thanks Venecan and NS021

She was born in another part of former Yugoslavia so it might take a while. I just got back from the police station and will call them next week to check up on the status of this certificate. Originally, I obtained this certificate from the court as I was not aware that this document should have been obtained from the police station. A bummer.

Oh well. That's life.
