Riyadh - Police Clearance Certificate

[jolyn69 28]

In order to get a police clearance letter/certificate, i followed the below procedure:

1. Go to the US embassy, (get an appointment by email by emailing RiyadhIV@state.gov). They will give you a request letter to get a police clearance.

2. Take that letter and go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and get it stamped for SR30 (it's a stick on stamp with a signature). (see attached pic)IMG_1060 (640x478).jpg

3. Now take that stamped letter and go to the Deera Police Department of Criminal Investigation. (it took me an hour to find it in Deerah so below is the link to the map).

There is an entrance on the left, with a blue door (see attached picture)IMG_1064 (800x598).jpg

They will fingerprint you with INK!!! and will give you a return slip. My date was after 2 days, and I got the clearance letter in Arabic with a stamp saying "No criminal record"

4. Have this translated by any authorized translator (5-10 offices on the crossing of Tahlia & Olaya Street) Will cost you around SR50

Ur Done!!!!
