Simple certificate of good conduct

General information:
Police clearance certificates provide information on whether the person named in the certificate has a criminal record or not. Employers therefore often require a certificate of good conduct before hiring a new employee. There are two types of certificates of good conduct:

• the private certificate of good conduct (for private purposes)
• the official certificate of good conduct (for submission to a German authority)

The data of the certificate of good conduct comes from the Federal Central Register. The certificate of good conduct can be obtained upon application by any person over the age of 14.
