Whether an attested police clearance certificate (PCC) is required in the UAE depends on the use case — the visa or permit type, the issuing authority and, in some cases, the employer or free zone. It is not a single universal requirement for every expatriate. Police authorities in the UAE can issue a PCC covering time spent in the country, and a PCC from another country is commonly requested where an applicant has lived there before moving to the UAE. A police clearance certificate records whether the issuing authority holds criminal records for the applicant. Because these requirements change and vary by authority, confirm the current rules for your specific application with the relevant UAE authority, or with our team, before you order attestation.
What is Police Clearance Certificate?
A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is an official document issued by the police or government agency of a country to certify that the applicant has no criminal records or has not been involved in any criminal activities in the past. It is also known as a criminal record check, good conduct certificate, or police clearance letter. PCCs are often required for employment visas, immigration, or travel to certain countries.
