Singapore Police Clearance 2012

[Isabela 20]

are u trying to say the nvc will ask for that clearance to complete the case?

Only if your a CR-1 and if K-1 embassy will request. Either way you'll need it.

I just read your doing a spousal visa. Yes NVC will give you a checklist before case complete. See my timeline in my signature below.

Information in case it helps anyone:

My wife needed both a Hong Kong and Singapore Police Certificate. I was expecting the checklist for the Singapore Police Certificate, so I started working on getting it before I received it. Singapore requires a request from the immigration authority, a application package and fingerprints. I downloaded the Manila letter from the Department of State Website listed below. You will click on "letter" in the link below. The letter requires a NVC checklist to go along with it. Rather than wait for a formal checklist I used the welcome letter NVC sent me in the begining as it contained a list of documents I would need.

My wife went to her local police station and had the fingerprints completed with a certification. We had the option of mailing them directly which could take a long time or the faster way was sending them by LBC to the contact she had in Singapore. Her contact dropped them off for us in Singapore at the address on the application. The certificate took about 3 weeks and it was ready. I had my wife ask the contact to send them to me via DHL in the US as I don't trust the Philippine Postal Service.

Good Luck!

Certificate of Clearance

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.

For all applicants, a form letter from the requesting/processing office (NVC, KCC, Embassy, employer etc.) is required to obtain a Certificate of Clearance (COC). Such letter should specify the need for the clearance and state explicitly that "a statutory declaration of no criminal conviction by the applicant is not acceptable as evidence that he/she does not have criminal convictions". The COC will be sent directly to the requesting/processing office.

Applicants residing in Singapore are to appear in person at the COC Office located at Blk D Police Cantonment Complex, #02-07/08, 391 New Bridge Road , Singapore 088762. The office is open from 8.30am to 12.30pm , Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays).

Applicants residing overseas should submit their applications (original) addressed to: Head Criminal Records, CID ( COC ), Blk D Police Cantonment Complex, #02-07/08, 391 New Bridge Road , Singapore 088762.

Processing time for each application is about 10 working days.

Processing fee is S$45.00 per application. Payment can be made by cash, NETS , cash card, or credit cards (VISA/MASTERCARD) for walk-in application. Application sent by post (from overseas) must be accompanied by a bank draft made payable to 'Head Criminal Records CID ' through a Singapore-based bank. In addition to the processing fee, a postage fee of S$5.00 must be included in the payment (total S$50.00) if the COC is to be mailed. Payment is non- refundable once the application is accepted.

All applicants must complete the Certificate of Clearance application form in full and submit it with the necessary supporting documents:

• A set of applicant's fingerprint impressions (ten prints). Applicants applying in person will be fingerprinted at the COC office at the time of application. For application by post from overseas, the applicant must submit a set of his/her fingerprint impressions taken by a qualified Fingerprint Officer at a Police Station or an authorized office of the country he/she is now residing.
• A photocopy of applicant's valid passport (showing biodata page).
• Two recent passport-sized photographs. Instant photo machine is available outside COC Office for applicants who appear in person (cost: S$7, approx. USD5.50, for 4 passport size photos).
• Photocopy of document from relevant consulate/immigration authority/government bodies or other requestor to establish that the certificate is required by such authority and that a statutory declaration of no criminal conviction by the applicant is not acceptable as evidence that s/he has no criminal convictions. All documents are to be translated into English if written in other languages.

NOTE: Non-Singapore citizens requesting a Certificate of Clearance must also submit a copy of this letter after adding the names of the principal and dependent applicants as indicated, along with the checklist letter from NVC.
