Hi moussycouple,

I work in hongkong before and now I'm already here in the Philippines. just want to ask if you also submit a letter from the embassy to be able to get a police clearance in Hongkong? I've got all the requirements needed except for the letter from the embassy here in Manila, because I'm not sure if I they will let me go inside the embassy to secure a request letter for police clearance. Do u think they will grant my request even without it.

SINGAPORE

Police Records

Available. The police records for Singapore may be considered complete from their origins to the present, except for the "occupation" period during World War II.

Applicants residing in Singapore should apply in person for a "Certificate of No Criminal Conviction" (CNCC) at Criminal Record Office (CID), Block D #02-01A, 391 New Bridge Road, Police Cantonment Complex, Singapore 088762, phone number 65-6435-8277, between 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon, Monday through Friday only. Applicants who are overseas may apply by correspondence to the above address. Alternatively, application can also be made online at http://www.spf.gov.sg/epc/cert_issued.htm.

The following documents should accompany the applications:

For Singaporeans: NRIC/current international passport;

For non-Singaporeans: Documentary proof of residence in Singapore must be shown - i.e. old/current passports or any relevant documents;

Exit permit, if applicable;

Two recent passport size photographs (3.5cm x 3 cm.); and

Application fee. Please check the website for current fee.

Processing time for the certificate is two to three weeks.

Former residents should write directly to the address given above for the necessary forms and instructions. Alternatively, they could have a set of rolled fingerprints taken by their local police authorities and submit this with photocopies of the documents listed above together with photographs, fee and postage charge. Singapore authorities also require that all immigrant applicants show proof of their intentions. The packet 3 cover letter bearing their name will suffice.

HONG KONG

Certificate of No-Criminal Conviction (CNCC)

Available from the Hong Kong police only to an applicant upon his and/or her written request, for whom there is no criminal record, and delivered in person or by mail. The written request should be addressed to the Commission of Police, (Attention EO CNCC),14/F, Arsenal House, Police Headquarters, 1 Arsenal Street, Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The request should provide the applicant’s full name, date of birth, and must be accompanied by:

A bank draft in the amount of 165 Hong Kong dollars for each person, made payable to “The Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.” Drafts in foreign currency must include an additional bank service charge of 100 Hong Kong dollars.

Documentary proof that a visa application has been made (letter from an American consular office requiring the certificate will suffice) and the location of the office where the application for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status is being made. If the person applying for a CNCC is a derivative applicant, the name of the principal applicant should also be included.

A full set of fingerprints of the applicant taken and certified by a recognized official police or law enforcement agent. The officer should endorse the fingerprint form with his or her signature and official stamp, attesting that the fingerprints are indeed taken from the applicant. Fingerprints taken by private or commercial agencies are not acceptable.

A photocopy of the applicant’s Hong Kong identity card or travel document. The Chinese commercial code number must be shown if Chinese characters are used for their names.

The applicant shall authorize the Hong Kong Police to retain his/her fingerprints and to disclose details of any criminal conviction recorded against him/her in Hong Kong to the appropriate Consulate/Immigration Authority.

Following the return of the completed personal data form and a fingerprint consent form, a "Certificate of No Criminal Conviction" or an appropriate reply together with the applicant's police record will be sent directly to the Consulate and/or immigration office. If a court record is required, the applicant should write directly to the Registrar of the High Court or the First Clerk of the Court. The applicant or his/her attorney should have a record of which court he/she attended for the hearing of the case.

NOTE: It is essential that applicants for the Certificate of No Criminal Conviction (CNCC) inform the HK Police Force which U.S. Embassy/Consulate General will be handling their visa application process. If they are applying for immigrant visas, their visa case number is useful because it bears the country code (for example, HNK for Hong Kong). If they are applying for adjustment of status with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), applicants should declare the location of the USCIS office where they are applying for their immigrant status. All derivative applicants should list the name of the principal applicant in their application for a CNCC.

More information on the Hong Kong CNCC is available at www.info.gov.hk/police.

HI RDOLFAN136,

What I did was download the form from the HK police site, attached a letter stating that I needed the police clearance for Visa purposes with your name and the petitioner's name on it and a bank draft of HK$165 and a set of my fingerprints which I took from a local policein Singapore with a stamp of the officer with signature too. It takes 4 weeks to wait or more if something is missing on your request so its better if you can request before you have no interview date yet.

You may vist and download the form at their site at :

www.police.gov.hk/hkp-home/english/forms/cncc/cncc-overseas.htm

I hope this helps.

Good luck!!!
