where can i get police certificate and how much will it cost me ?.

I believe you go to the Ghana Police Headquarters in Accra for all police certificates.

It's not expensive. probably 10 Ghana Cedis or less. Takes roughly, two weeks or so to get that but as with every process in Ghana, it can expedited if you're willing to pay a bit more under the table to the person issuing the certificate ( bribe). Sad but true.

Good luck!

Police Records

Ghana Police Clearance Certificate: Available. Residents of Ghana should report to the headquarters branch of the Criminal Investigations Division of the Ghana Police Authority in Accra, where a fingerprint sample will be taken. Cost for preparation of the certificate is approximately $7 USD (higher for expedited service), payable in local currency, for preparation within 7 days. Non-residents should forward a letter of request for a Police Certificate for Immigration Purposes. Accompanying the letter should be a certified sample of the applicant's fingerprints and an international money order in the amount of $80 USD made out to "Commissioner of Police, Ghana." Forward these documents to the following address:

Commissioner of Police

Criminal Investigations

Department Headquarters

PO Box 505

Accra, Ghana

Improved USCIS Form G-325A (Biographic Information)

Form field input font changed to allow entry of dates in the specified format and to provide more space for addresses and employment history. This is the 6/12/09 version of the form; the current version is 8/8/11, but previous versions are accepted per the USCIS forms page.

That is the one thing that I found true first hand when I went Ghana. We had to pay "I can help you" money for our already paid for wedding pictures.

My husband paid over $100 for his police report and that was mostly "I can help you" money... :blink:

That is how things are at times.

We just had to do what we needed to do...my husband told me that was even the negotiated price. :unsure:

...but thank God that we are now waiting for our interview date....

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us...
