Police records Lebanon

[Edwena 1]

Hello everyone!

 

Quick question about police records. My husband is an Iraqi national, currently living in Lebanon. He already got an Iraqi police record a few months ago through the Iraqi embassy in Lebanon. However, we noticed that it has an expiration date of 90 days. Will he need to get a new one? He hasn't gone back to Iraq since the report was completed..so logically I would think that he wouldn't need a new one..but he doesn't want to risk it and holding up the whole process.

 

Also, he'll be living in Lebanon for a year in June. Will he even be able to get a police record? He doesn't have any Lebanese papers. He fled Iraq and is currently able to stay in Lebanon through a UN refugee status. We were married in Lebanon in September 2016 and the NVC received our packet on April 5, 2017. They said it takes up to 11 weeks to process, so we want to make sure we have everything ready for the interview 😊

 

Thank you for any information!

I have receiveid a police certificate that was valid for 3 months from a different country. When I asked the immigration office about the issue they said I must get a new valid one even if I did not visit the same country since the report was issued. 

 

Your best bet is to wait until you get your interview date and then apply for all police reports. 

 

As for a UN refugee in Lebanon I think he can still get a report using his refugee card. This being said, make sure if your spouse doesn't have a refugee card he must insist to get one from the UN. otherwise during his interview he might be considered defaulting a residence status or being illegal in Lebanon which might affect the outcome. Is he having his interview in Lebanon? if yes he must show his legal residence status there.
