German Police Certificate - Need help with some terms

[phonghnguyenn]

Good day everyone,

As I'm finalizing my application, I need to get a German police check. I read through their website and I saw this "The certificate of conduct for presentation to a German authority (certificate of conduct for official purposes) is sent directly to the authority. The authority must grant inspection of the certificate of conduct to the person making the application on request. The person making the application may require that the certificate of conduct, if it contains entries, is first of all sent to him/her by a Local Court of his/her choice for inspection. The registration authority must inform the person making the application of this possibility. The Local Court may only permit inspection by the person making the application in person. The certificate of conduct is to be passed on to the authority after inspection or, if the person making the application opposes this, is to be destroyed by the Local Court."

I am quite confused and do not understand what entries are and how can the certificate contains entries.

Can anyone help?

TIA

Entries are criminal acts on your record. If you've had criminal activities, they will show up as entries on your certificate.
