Need help obtaining the Singaporean Police Certificate

[lofferjason 1]

hi ch3john

you mean i have to email the embassy here in Manila philippines to get that singapore letter? how long will it takes? but in my case i cannot go to singapore. is it still possible to have COC through mail? thak u

[ch3john 308]

Yes, email the embassy in Manila and they should be able to send you what you need. I'm not sure how responsive the embassy in Manila is but the embassy in Jakarta emailed my fiancee within hours of her requesting the letter. The embassy probably won't respond to your email unless you have a case number which you will receive after NOA2

You don't have to go in person. You can send it in my mail/courier. However, you will need to get fingerprints done locally and send with the application.

hi apalis,

I recently applied for the COC from Singapore Police force, it takes more than 10 business days from approval and finally reaching the requesting authority. I had to appeal because of the requirement stated on packet 3 for K1 visa interview. Though they said COC is not applicable for non-citizens, we can appeal and once the appeal is successful, they will send it out to the requesting authority. First fill out the documents provided on the links below with your particulars.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2011/341-appeal-e.pdf

Since the statutory declaration of no criminal conduct is not acceptable by USEM, you have to fill out this form below and state your case number and name of applicant. This letter from IV unit is required by the SPF which requires COC as part of the visa process and that statutory of declaration is not acceptable.

I didn't come personally to apply for the COC, so here's the documents I submitted:

1. Appeal forms

2. Letter from IV unit

3. Photograph (2) size: 3x4 cm with white background (get the recent ones)

4. Original fingerprint impressions taken by the national police (in my case, the Indonesian national police)

5. Proofs that you have resided in Singapore for more than 6 months such as passport endorsement, employer/school testimonial, your permanent resident card or FIN card copy. Please refer to the requirements on the appeal forms.

6. Bank draft of S$50 addressed to 'HEAD CRIMINAL RECORDS CID'. As long as your local bank is affiliated with SINGAPORE BASED BANK such as OCBC, UOB, DBS, the SPF will accept it. Check and confirm with your local bank first.

7. Copy of valid passport(bio page)

8. Copy of my Indonesian ID

9. NVC checklist stating that COC is required.

Sent the papers through DHL here's my timeline:

Shipped: March 18, 2013

Receipt date: March 20

Approval: April 5

Sent out to USEM: April 11

Call CID +6564358277 or +6564350000 and ask them after 10 business days whether it has been approved and when they will ship it to USEM.

I emailed them and called quite frequently after 10 days, they are very helpful so don't worry as long as you provide complete papers. Once it is approved, they will inform you the COC REFERENCE NUMBER COC/XXXX/XX

SPF only sends through registered airmail by SINGPOST, the CID will inform you the airwaybill as well so you can track the document http://www.singpost.com/index.php?quickTool=TrackItem#Quick

Airmail takes 5-8 days to arrive at the destination. So I will update you again on this.

Hope this helps! good luck for us!

Hi, when  u sent all your requirements getting a police clearance through DHL what is there address? Thanks

[blooms 63]

Hi,

 

I applied for the COC in 2013, some procedures and requirements may change. From what I understand, you can submit some of the supporting documents online (back then I sent the hardcopy through DHL), however you still need to get your fingerprint impressions to be sent directly to SPF. 

 

I would follow what the official websites tell you to do. https://www.police.gov.sg/e-services/apply/certificate-of-clearance

Just follow the instructions on the website and you're good to go.

 

You can also call the phone number previously mentioned on my post. Hope this helps.
