Clearance Certificate

HOW TO OBTAIN POLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE
The Police Clearance Certificate is issued to prospective travellers who have been asked to submit police report on them to check whether or not they have any criminal record.

Most foreign embassies demand police clearance before they issue prospective travellers with entry visas to those countries.

Police clearance is issued to all Ghanaians, both living at home (residents) or abroad (non-residents).

All applicants are requested to fill an application form at the Police C.I.D. Headquarters, together with two passport size photographs, as well as Ghanaian passport. However, non-resident Ghanaians can apply through resident Ghanaians.

Below are the fees charged for obtaining Police clearance:

MODE OF PAYMENT FOR POLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE

It has been observed that cheques issued by some applicants in payment for Police Clearance Certificates especially foreign ones bounce thereby rendering this mode of payment unreliable.

The Director-General/CID has accordingly directed that henceforth cheques would no longer be accepted as payment for the processing of Police Clearance Certificate.
