Nigeria Police Clearance Certificate from Abroad

[Gabe89 27]

Good morning,

can anyone advise how they managed to get their Nigerian Police Clearance Certificate while leaving abroad.

I worked in Nigeria for some time in the past so I'll need to get one for the interview.

Thank you in advance

This is a very difficult task to obtain a PC from Nigeria.

 

Applicants outside the country are advised that mailed requests for police certificates are not an effective method of obtaining the records. It is recommended that applicants outside Nigeria obtain a police certificate upon their next visit or enlist the assistance of a friend or relative able to physically visit the Deputy Inspector General. Note that each applicant 16 years of age and above must also provide (1) a copy of the first three data pages of his or her passport, (2) the pages containing Nigerian visas, entry, and departure stamps and (3) a complete set of fingerprints taken by the police in the district where the applicant resides. The Police Character Certificate is obtained by applying to the relevant Police Department of the Nigeria Police

Thank you @Greenbaum this is exactly why I'm asking because sounds like something quite difficult to manage from abroad. Hopefully someone can share his/her first hand experience.

 

thank you for the great job and for the support everyone from the community is willing to give to others!

 

Happy holidays!
