Egypt: Police Certificate Process

[Wife of Mohammed 0]

For Egypt, I found the following information:

Police Records

Available. Police certificates are obtainable by both Egyptians and non-Egyptians who were born in, or who permanently reside, or have resided in Egypt. The Police Certificate, called a "Criminal Status Record" (Saheefat al Hala al Gina'iyya), may be obtained upon application to the police station nearest the applicant's place of residence in Egypt, and normally takes between one and five working days. Applicants are fingerprinted on the reverse side of the application form. The certificate will indicate if the applicant has served prison time, but will not indicate detentions, arrests or convictions without imprisonment. An applicant abroad must apply to the nearest Egyptian consular officer who will fingerprint them and forward their applications to the Ministry of Interior, Cairo. Upon completion, the report is sent to the applicant. The latter procedure usually involves considerable delay. Since the certificates are eventually issued, they must be considered available.

The applicant must submit police certificates that meet the following guidelines. The police certificate must:

* Cover the entire period of the applicant’s residence in that area

* Be issued by the appropriate police authority

* Include all arrests, the reason for the arrest(s), and the disposition of each case of which there is a record.

1. As far as the directions are concerned, my husband would first apply at his city of residence(hes in Egypt) and they mail it back to him after a max of 5 days?

2. Does this report include all the places he had lived in Egypt for more than 6 months?

3. Is there an expiration date on this certificate?

4. Do you have any other suggestions about how to get through this process the fastest?

Thanks in advance for any post...We really need your input, no matter how small. Thanks again!

Hello!

Your hubby should go to the police station in the area listed on his ID. So, if he is from Heliopolis, he should go to the police station there; If he is from Nasr City, he should go that police station etc. They will do a criminal check on him there.

I think it just says if he has any criminal history. We got it after 3 days or something. He had to go pick it up at the station. It wasn't that difficult of a process. They just take fingerprints and you come back for it a few days later. We did ours in Alexandria, though...

Hope that helped!

Hello.

I would like to ask anyone knows whether any changes have been made to the process of obtaining police clearance certificate in Egypt? And do I need to present two certificates from two different locations I've resided since 16 or I shall get it from my current residence city only and does it give the full police report from all locations I've resided? Does anyone have a sample of recently obtained police clearance certificate for immigration visa? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

 

my finace is from Iraq but he lived in Egypt for 10 years. He finished college so unfortunately he had to go back to Iraq. Could he apply for these record by going to the 🇪🇬 consulate in Iraq? Will that be a problem?
