Before submitting the above mentioned documents to the Police Department, you have to contact them to inquire about the fees (ex: money order should be made payable to …) and the courier company, etc. We suggest that you send the documents to a relative or a friend and they can obtain the certificate of good conduct from the Police Department on your behalf so the processing time will be faster than sending it directly by courier to the Police Department.
