Police Clearance Report, Local Vs Alagbon

[del-2-5-2014 1,339]

Here is a copy of my Fiancees police clearance report from Iyaganku, Ibadan (N7,000).

For those that got theirs from Alagbon direct, please share if there's any diffrence in the stampings. Preferably post a copy of the report, of course blank out the private stuff.

PS: I have another pet peeve. Have their been anybody on VJ that has ever had a negative police report out of Nigeria in particular and Africa in general?

It seems okay with me, it has the same stamps mine have

But the only thing I noticed is where it states the country she's travelling to on the smaller pink paper, it states MOROVIA instead of USA

Winniegeorge, ours have USA on it.

I do not think it is about the resemblance, remember the other paper with the fingerprints on them will state the office issuing out the police report so that is where the problem is. if US immigration state they want it from Alagbon then give it to them from alagbon.

I disagree, and so do some others.

The requirement is to get police report for every country that you've lived in since you were 18 years old for a period of 6 months or more.

But one has to do what is in ones best interest hence why I always use YMMV on my recommendations, you don't have to do what I do.

"Police Certificates

Who needs to submit a police certificate?

Each visa applicant aged 16 years or older must submit police certificates.

What should I send?

You must submit police certificates which:

• Cover the entire period of the applicant’s residence in that area
• Have been issued by the appropriate police authority
• Include all arrests, the reason for the arrest(s), and the disposition of each recorded case.

An applicant must obtain a police certificate from the local police authority:

You may not realize this but every fingerprint certificate comes ultimately from Alagbon close. All other police head quarters merely serve as collecting points for the finger prints. I got mine from Owerri and it cost me 15, ooo naira, but the police inspector explained that that was the cost of transporting the prints to Alagbon and back for print scanning and issue of certificate. So when it came back, it bore the stamps and all as one which had been done in Alagbon close. 15K might be a bit steep but it woulda cost me more to go to Lagos at that time.
