[happywifeymom 4]

Hello fellow VJ members,

I just wanted to ask a quick question to make sure if i am right. We are on the process of gathering documents for DS_230. My kids who are the benefeciary are 12 and 8 yrs. old. My question is:

Do i need to get their police certificates or NBI clearance? As i understand it i do not need to get this documents since they are below 16 yrs. old,,am i right?

Thanks for your responce.

Police Clearance certificates are not required if the beneficiary is below 16 years of age. Here is the link for the same...

as per the NVC requirements stated:

7. NBI CLEARANCE. Applicants aged 16 years and older must have a valid Record Clearance for Travel Abroad Purposes from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). Clearances should be in the applicant’s current name, birth certificate name, maiden name and any aliases or nicknames used, including different spellings you have used of those names. For immigration purposes, an NBI clearance is valid for one (1) year from the date it was issued.
