Notes to answerer

Asker: Maybe that's because you work for official bodies. I was told that there is no such thing when I applied in person. Perhaps it's a new invention?

Asker: Eventually I had to get a letter from the Consulate stating that as far as they knew I had nothing outstanding, then get it "sworn" translated.
