Yes, he will need a Police Clearance from Oman if he worked there for 12 months or more.

Police Record

Available. Current residents of Oman needing a Good Conduct Certificate (GCC) should contact the Directorate General of Criminal Investigation (Royal Oman Police) in their area of residence with the following documents:

1. original, completed application form; this form is only available from the Directorate General of Criminal Investigation
2. no-objection letter from the employer/local sponsor in Oman
3. four passport-sized photographs taken on a blue background
4. copy of the applicant's passport with the Omani visa
5. copy of applicant's resident card
6. processing fee, in cash, of Rial Omani 3.00

Former residents of Oman may apply for a GCC by providing the following documents:

1. cover letter from the applicant requesting why he/she needs a GCC certificate, name of the employer/local sponsor who employed the applicant, and period of employment in Oman
2. original, completed application form; the consular section at U.S. Embassy Muscat will mail this form to the applicant, if requested via email(consularmuscat@state.gov)
3. letter from the U.S. Embassy or Consulate, where the immigrant visa case is being processed, stating the reason the certificate is required
4. no-objection letter from the employer/local sponsor in Oman
5. set of fingerprints, duly certified by the concerned authority in the country where the applicant resides
6. four passport-sized photographs taken on a blue background
7. copy of the applicant's passport with the Omani visa
8. processing fee, in cash, of Rial Omani 3.00 or USD 10.00

Former residents may submit the above documents in one of four ways:

1. directly to the Omani Embassy/Consulate where the applicant resides; the Omani Embassy/Consulate will send the documents to the Omani Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which, in turn, will forward them to the Directorate General of Criminal Investigation
2. if there is no Omani Embassy/Consulate in the country where the applicant resides, the applicant may send the documents to the Omani Ministry of Foreign Affairs at: Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Attn: Protocol Department, P.O. Box 252, Muscat 113, Sultanate of Oman
3. the Directorate General of Criminal Investigation will also accept documents sent from the applicant via a courier service at: Directorate General of Criminal Investigation, Royal Oman Police, Qurum, Muscat, Oman, tel: 00968-2456-9496; the applicant should coordinate delivery and collection with the courier company;
4. for faster processing, former residents may wish to seek the assistance of a relative, friend, or previous employer in Oman to contact in-person and obtain the Omani GCC directly from the Directorate General of Criminal Investigation

Note: In all cases, the Directorate General of Criminal Investigation takes two to three days to process the GCC.

In your original post you said it was 15 years ago. Now its 32 years ago?

Either way, yes. If he worked in Oman for more than 12 months after the age of 16 he'll need one.

Good luck
