Police Certificates

[Egbosimbas 2]

I have my husbands birth certificate with me here in the states, do I have to send it back to him in order for him to get his police certificates? I'm unclear as to exactly what documentation is required to obtain the police certificates in Nigeria. Will a photocopy suffice? Any help from any VJer's would be appreciated greatly! Thank you!

Police Records

Available, for those in-country. The Nigerian Police Force no longer accepts requests made through the American Embassy. Applicants need to contact the Deputy Inspector General, Criminal Investigation Department, Nigeria Police Force, Alagbon Close, Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria. Fee should be in the form of a bank draft payable to the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Fingerprint Section, Nigeria Police Force. The applicant should bring information regarding their full name, place and date of birth, nationality, passport number, date and place of issuance (for current passport or passport used during applicant’s stay in Nigeria), exact periods of residence in Nigeria and addresses where applicant resided. Each applicant 16 years of age and over must also provide (1) a copy of the first three data pages of his or her passport, (20) the pages containing Nigerian visas, entry and departure stamps and (3) a complete set of fingerprints taken by the police in the district where the applicant resides.

Applicants outside the country are advised that mailed requests for police certificates are not an effective method of obtaining the records. It is recommended that applicants outside Nigeria obtain a police certificate upon their next visit, or enlist the assistance of a friend or relative able to physically visit the Deputy Inspector General.

Of course, the most convenient way to obtain that certificate is to offer a bribe in the right place at the right time, and all the documentation won't be needed, just the cash. Preferably USD
