Which emirate did you live in?
Each emirate has its own police authority. For the cases Trueway handles at present, eligible applicants from every emirate are assisted through the Dubai PCC process.
Dubai
Dubai Police provides its police clearance certificate to people outside the UAE who entered the country before. Residence and visit visa cases are on our Dubai page.

What does it cost?
Connect with the Trueway team for the fee. We confirm it on WhatsApp, together with the expected time, before you decide.
Ask the team for the feeGood to know
Older stays need an individual check
An expired UAE visa or an old passport does not stop a case by itself. A stay several decades ago can be difficult if the UAE records no longer exist. Send the records you still have before you start.
What delays a UAE PCC
Passport and Emirates ID details that do not match, an unclear passport or visa copy, a missing old passport, the wrong purpose on the application, or an open case in the UAE, even a small one. We check your documents before submission.
Plan around your deadline
The certificate is valid for three months. If it is for a joining date, a visa or a licence, start early and not on the last expected day.

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!
Moncy Varghese
Excellent communication and coordination by Mary Jemi. I needed PCC for Oman and within a weeks time of submitting the documents, I got the PCC. It was for my dad who worked there over 15 years back and Mary Jemi guided me and answered all questions promptly regarding whats required for PCC. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about the police clearance certificate from the UAE.
What is a UAE Police Clearance Certificate?
It is a certificate that shows whether a person has a criminal record in the UAE. It is also called a Good Conduct Certificate, and is asked for employment, immigration, study or a professional licence.
Can a former UAE resident apply after returning to India?
Yes. The UAE government states that the certificate is available to current residents and to people who no longer live in the UAE. Dubai Police also provides its service to applicants outside the UAE who entered the country before, subject to its requirements and the records available.
I lived in Abu Dhabi or Sharjah. Can Trueway review my case?
Yes. Former residents of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Fujairah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain can contact Trueway for a case review. For the cases Trueway handles at present, eligible applicants are assisted through the Dubai PCC process, not through a separate service for each emirate.
Can I apply with an expired UAE visa or old passport?
Possibly. Expired documents do not make a case ineligible by themselves, but the records are reviewed first. A stay several decades ago can be difficult if enough UAE records are no longer available.
Which documents should I keep ready?
Your passport copy, UAE visa copy, Emirates ID copy and a photograph. If your UAE residence was linked to an older passport, keep that passport or its details ready too.
How long does UAE PCC processing take?
Usually 3 to 5 working days. The final time depends on your records and on anything more the authority asks for, so start early if you have a joining, visa or licensing deadline.
Who issues the Police Clearance Certificate?
The UAE police authority concerned; for the cases Trueway handles, Dubai Police. Trueway provides documentation and application assistance and keeps you updated while the application is handled.
Do I need fingerprints for a UAE PCC?
Not if you held a residence visa and have your Emirates ID. Visit visa cases need digitised fingerprints, sealed and signed by the fingerprint bureau.
Is the certificate in English or Arabic?
The language is chosen when the application is made: Arabic or English. Tell us which office will receive the certificate and we apply in the language it asks for.
How long is a UAE PCC valid?
The Dubai Police certificate states that it is valid for three months. The office you submit it to may also set its own limit, so apply close to your submission date.
What does a UAE PCC cost?
Connect with the Trueway team on WhatsApp. We confirm the fee and the expected time before you decide.
Is Trueway part of a UAE police department or a government body?
No. Trueway provides independent documentation support and is not affiliated with any council, embassy or government authority. The certificate is issued by the UAE police authority, not by Trueway.
