Bogota Police certificate

[Colffff]

Hello everyone,

I am from Colombia, applying through Bogota office in the family class. I recently received AOR from Bogota with instruction on how to fill Bank slip to pay for Police certificate fees (40000 colombian pesos). However, I did not see anywhere wether or not I have to send a copy of the Bank deposit slit to Bogota. Do they automatically receive information from the bank since we put the BXXX-XXXXX number on the slip or we have to send them a copy for them to know we paid? And if so, by mail or e-mail?

Anybody has experience with that?

thank you,

Hi there,

Once you pay in Banco de occidente, send the original copy to Bogota, leave a copy for you, make sure you add the checklist page that came with AOR, (leave another copy for you also) once you have all that send it through Servientrega, pay the one for 12,000 pesos so you can track it and also you can have a copy of the receipt once they receive it in Bogota, that's what I did and it went well.

If you need more help, let us know.

Good luck

Please can you share your timeline with us?

Thanks

Thanks for your answer.

Of course i'll share the timeline.

I reviewed the papers I received and there isnt a checklist. Only came 2 pages (AOR and page on how to pay at banco de occidente) and a set of stickers with the file number and a bar code. The only thing I am asked is to make the payment. No mention that they want any other document at this point. Anyways I guess it is safer to send the copy of the bank payment as you did to make sure there is no delay.

Ok I'm pretty sure you know the steps already, use a sticker and paste it on the bank's receipt and just to be diligent add another page with your information and your wife's, Id numbers, address from both, telephone numbers, names, with another sticker so they have more information, trust me this actually helps....

If you need more help don't hesitate to ask us

good luck...

Well actually I some other questions.

First, in the "Referencia 2" section of the bank slip, I thought I had to write the BXXXX-XXXXX code and then BOGOTA. Is it true or is it only the BXXXX-XXXXX code?

And also, did they charge you 3500 pesos even though it is written everywhere on the paper they sent that they are not authorized?

Thanks again for your answers

No, only you IFN (or code) this is the most important part with the name as they'll find your record with this.

Nop they didn't charge me for this, I'm not sure what's happening with this fee, Who is charging you this the Bank or Servientrega.?

Actually the bank (Banco de Occidente) charged this fee (3500 COP). I shown them the paper stating that they are no allowed to do so. They said that they did not care, that the bank procedure is to charge this fee. Not that it is a big deal to have to pay 3500 pesos extra.
