Country & Cultural Context
Police clearance certificates from Arab countries have different names and issuing processes. In Saudi Arabia, it is called a "Good Conduct Certificate" issued by the Saudi police. In the UAE, the "Certificate of Good Conduct" is obtained from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and can now be requested online via the MOI app. Egyptian police clearance (فيش وتشبيه — Feesh wa Tashbeeh) is issued by the Criminal Evidence Administration. Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon each have their own police clearance processes with varying processing times. Some Arab countries require fingerprinting, while others issue clearance based on identity documents alone.
Document Format
Arabic police clearance certificates include: applicant's full name and identification details (national ID or passport number), a statement confirming criminal record status (clear or listing offences), the issuing authority (police department, Ministry of Interior, or CID), date of issue, validity period, and official stamps or security features such as holograms or barcodes.

Some Arab states (e.g. UAE, Bahrain, Oman) are Hague Convention members and can issue apostilles. Others require embassy attestation.
