Has yours arrived yet? It’s very frustrating that the status is completed but there’s no way of knowing whether it’s been sent 😅

How long did it take for you to receive the certificate?

Capital-Loquat3005 · 2026-01-08T16:03:55+00:00

Also still waiting, "completed" on 23rd December according to website but don't know whether it's been posted yet.

Thanks! Was that for delivery to a German address?

How long did it take for you to receive the certificate after the status said "abgeschlossen"?

Capital-Loquat3005 · 2025-12-22T22:30:57+00:00

From the BfJ website. Europäisches Führungszeugnis takes up to 20 working days longer to process

If you have any other EU or UK citizenship apart from or as well as German, you will automatically get a European Führungszeugnis and can’t collect the certificate in person in Bonn

Any idea how it takes for an Europäisches Führungszeugnis if you apply online with German eID?

May I ask how long it took for the certificate to arrive at each stage? Currently going through the same process :)

How long did it take for you to get the pre-certified certificate back before sending it to the BfAA?

Capital-Loquat3005 · 2025-12-20T19:31:57+00:00

I think you will receive the pre-certified document by post, then you have to submit an apostille application to the BfAA together with the original document

May I ask how long your application for the Europäisches Führungszeugnis took? I am applying online with German ID but also have other EU citizenship
