Name: GloboPrime Corporate Services Provider
Price range: $$

Need a UAE Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) for immigration, a new job abroad, or higher education? Also known as a Good Conduct Certificate, this official document confirms that you have no criminal record in the United Arab Emirates.

Obtaining a PCC is a straightforward process, but using it outside the UAE requires additional steps such as MOFA attestation and embassy legalization. Whether you are currently living in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, or applying from overseas as a former resident, GloboPrime provides complete support. We handle the application, complete all required attestations, and deliver your certificate safely to your location worldwide.

What is a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) / Good Conduct Certificate?

A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC), also known as a Good Conduct Certificate, is an official document issued by a recognized police authority confirming whether an individual has any criminal record. In the UAE, this certificate is issued by authorities such as the Ministry of Interior (MOI), Dubai Police, Abu Dhabi Police, Sharjah Police, Ajman Police, Ras Al Khaimah Police, Fujairah Police, or Umm Al Quwain Police.

The PCC states whether there are any criminal convictions, arrests, or pending cases against the applicant within a specific jurisdiction. It is commonly required by immigration authorities, employers, and government bodies for purposes such as visa applications, overseas employment, higher education, adoption, and professional licensing.

In most cases, the certificate is valid for a limited period, typically between 3 to 6 months from the date of issue, depending on the requirements of the receiving authority.

Who Needs a UAE Police Clearance Certificate?

You will typically be asked to provide a UAE Police Clearance Certificate for:

Global Immigration: Applying for Permanent Residency (PR) or citizenship in countries like Canada, Australia, the UK, or the USA.
Foreign Employment: Securing a job outside the UAE (especially in government, healthcare, education, or aviation sectors).
Professional Licensing: Passing background checks for the DHA (Dubai Health Authority), HAAD, or MOH Dataflow verification.
Family Sponsorship: Sponsoring a spouse or dependents for certain international visas.
Business Setup: Registering a new company or applying for commercial licenses in foreign jurisdictions.

Required Documents for UAE PCC

For citizens and residents, MOI says the applicant must have an ID card issued in the UAE. For visitors and GCC nationals, MOI requires a valid registered passport and completion of the related fingerprint procedure. MOI also states that the certificate is issued in Arabic and English only. For outside-UAE / former Dubai resident cases handled through Dubai Police, the official Dubai Police page lists these documents:

Personal photo
Passport copy
Copy of previous residence visa

Dubai Police also states that if the applicant is outside the UAE and does not have a ten-print fingerprint, they must provide a fingerprint copy or fingerprint card certified by the UAE Embassy.

Why You Need GloboPrime: PCC Attestation Services

If you are presenting your UAE Police Clearance Certificate to a foreign government (like the Canadian Immigration Authority, UK Home Office, or Australian Embassy), the digital PDF is not enough. Your PCC must go through a formal attestation process to be accepted internationally. GloboPrime handles this entire process for you, ensuring your document is properly legalized and ready for submission without delays.

MOFA Attestation: We take your issued PCC and submit it to the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) for the official government stamp.
Legal Translation (If Required): If you are moving to a non-English/Arabic speaking country (e.g., France, Germany, Italy), our sworn translators will translate the document legally.
Embassy Attestation: We submit the document to the destination country’s embassy in the UAE (e.g., Canada, UK, Australia, India) for final legalization.

How to Get a Police Clearance Certificate in Dubai

If your last residency visa was issued in Dubai, you should apply through Dubai Police.

For Current Dubai Residents

Download the Dubai Police App or visit dubaipolice.gov.ae.
Log in using your UAE Pass.
Navigate to Services > Certificate Services > Police Clearance Certificate.
Select the purpose of the certificate and the requesting party.
Pay the required fee (AED 220 for residents).
Receive your electronic certificate via email within 24–48 hours.

How to Get a Police Clearance Certificate in Abu Dhabi & Other Emirates

For Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, RAK, UAQ, and Fujairah, the central issuing authority is the Ministry of Interior (MOI).

For Current UAE Residents

Download the MOI UAE App or visit moi.gov.ae.
Log in with UAE Pass.
Search for “Issuance of Clear Criminal Record Certificate.”
Choose whether the certificate is for use Inside the UAE (AED 50) or Outside the UAE (AED 100).
Submit the application and pay via Apple Pay or credit card.
The certificate will be emailed to you (usually within 1–2 days).

Applying for a UAE PCC from Outside the UAE (Ex-Residents)

If you have left the UAE and your Emirates ID is canceled, you cannot simply log into the app. The government requires your biometric data to issue the certificate.

Here is the exact process for Ex-Residents

Get a Fingerprint Card: Visit your local police station in your home country and obtain an official ten-print fingerprint card.
UAE Embassy Attestation (Crucial Step): You must get this fingerprint card attested by the UAE Embassy or Consulate in your current country. MOI and Dubai Police will reject applications with un-attested fingerprints.
Apply Online: Submit the attested fingerprint card, your previous UAE visa copy, passport copy, and recent photo through the MOI or Dubai Police portal.
Pay the Fees: International fees range from AED 300 to AED 320.

Struggling with this process? GloboPrime specializes in assisting ex-residents. Send us your attested fingerprint card, and we will handle the UAE-side application, MOI processing, and subsequent MOFA attestation.

Legalizing Your PCC for International Use (Attestation)

A standard PDF downloaded from the Dubai Police or MOI app is not legally valid outside the UAE. If you are submitting your UAE PCC to a foreign government (e.g., Canadian Immigration, UK Home Office), it must go through the strict Attestation Process.

As Abu Dhabi & Dubai’s premier corporate service provider, GloboPrime handles this entire cycle:

MOFA Attestation: We legalize the original PCC at the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFAIC).
Legal Translation: If required, our certified translators will translate the document into French, Spanish, German, etc.
Embassy Attestation: We submit the MOFA-attested certificate to the destination country’s embassy in the UAE (e.g., Embassy of Canada, Australia, UK) for final legalization.
Global Courier: We DHL the fully legalized physical document to your doorstep anywhere in the world.

Attestation for International Use

If you plan to use your UAE Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) outside the UAE, it must go through an official attestation (legalization) process to be accepted by foreign authorities.

The standard process includes:

MOFA Attestation: The certificate is submitted to the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MOFA) for verification. The official fee for this service is AED 300.
Embassy Attestation: After MOFA attestation, the document may need further legalization by the embassy or consulate of the destination country in the UAE (such as the UK, Canada, India, or Australia), depending on their requirements.

We can assist you with both MOFA attestation and embassy attestation for any destination country in the UAE, ensuring your PCC is properly legalized and accepted without delays.
