How it works

Who does what, from your first message to the certificate.

  1. Step 1: Tell us about your Bahrain stay

    You

    Your first entry and last exit dates, whether you have your CPR or visa copy, and which embassy or office is asking for the certificate.

  2. Step 2: We send your checklist, the fingerprint form and the fee

    Trueway

    On WhatsApp, for your case, with the expected time. You decide after you have seen them.

  3. Step 3: You give your fingerprints

    You

    In black ink, at a police station or fingerprint bureau near you, signed and stamped by the officer. We check the prints before anything is submitted.

  4. Step 4: We prepare and submit the application

    Trueway

    We check your documents against your entry and exit details and submit the application in Bahrain. You review every detail first.

  5. Step 5: The Bahraini authority issues the certificate

    Authority

    The Directorate of Criminal Information checks its records and decides. Trueway does not control this step; we follow it up and send you the certificate when it is ready. If your destination asks for an apostille from the Bahrain Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we arrange that as well.

  • Jency Moncy

    Highly recommend Mary Jemi here. This is our second time working with her for PCC. As usual excellent communication and detailed explanation of the process. We got PCC for Bahrain this time and previously for Oman. Both times process was very straightforward. Ask for her when you call the office!
  • Srudhi Krishna

    I am very grateful with the consultancy especially Lezitha. She was very friendly and extremely helpful throughout the entire process of getting my Bahrain Police Clearance Certificate. She patiently cleared all my doubts and kept me updated at every step. I truly appreciate her support and guidance — highly recommended.
