Hi everyone,
I'm having problem to get a "police certificate" in China. According to announcement by The Ministry of Public Security in Aug,2015,Chinese police will no longer issue 18 types of certificate which includes ‘issuing non-criminal record certificate to individual’. Which mean they will not provided it for me if I just come and ask for. They asking for a official letter from immigration state that they need it from me, then the Public Security Bureau will give "police certificate" for me. However, I'm calling immigration today and unfortunately they will not provided such letter for me. Then they ask me to go to this website to get information about what I need to provided if I'm unable to give them police certificate.

said that: "If you cannot get a police certificate, provide detailed information of your attempts to get one. If we are satisfied that police certificates are not available or it would be unduly difficult for you to get them (for example where the authorities of any such country will not generally provide such certificates), we may instead ask you to make and provide a separate statutory declaration in both English and your own language. If a statutory declaration is required, it must detail your attempts to obtain a police certificate and state whether or not you, or any accompanying family members, have been found guilty or convicted of, or charged with offences against the law in that country. The statutory declaration should also be corroborated by other information attesting to your character.
So what is the "Statutory Declaration" and where and how can I get it from?
I'm gathering documents in order to send my application to Shanghai Branch (I got ITA last 2 weeks) but I'm having trouble with the police certificate now. Please help, if anyone has the same problem with me please share some experience.
Thank,
