unregistered cohabitation/ידועים בציבור visa (B1)

Hi Ed,

The Certificate of Good Conduct is what we know as a Certified Criminal Record Check, you will need to apply for that at your hometown police department headquarters. Many countries require that it be a check that is conducted by way of both name and fingerprints, others require a name only check so you will need to check with the MOI which they require. Ususally most nations also require that this document be 'legalized' by THEIR consulate in the country where the document is issued, check that too.

I don't know how the Certificate of Non-marriage works in the UK, whether the local Registrar at Vital Statistics issues those or not. Failing that usually you can get some kind of a declaration by the External Affairs Department or other government agency that you are single. If you've previously been married then you will need an original of your Divorce Certificate or Decree Absolute of Divorce. This will also probably need to be legalized by the consulate nearest you in the UK.
