The Country and Its Culture
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.

Questions and Answers
Questions clients ask about Arabic Criminal Records translation
Which Arab countries do you cover for police clearance?
We translate police clearance certificates from all 22 Arab countries including Saudi Good Conduct Certificates, UAE Certificates of Good Conduct from CID, Egyptian Feesh wa Tashbeeh, Jordanian police clearance, Iraqi criminal record certificates, and all others.
Is an Arabic police clearance accepted for UK visa applications?
Yes, UKVI requires police clearance certificates from every country you have lived in for 12 months or more. Our certified translations of Arabic police clearance certificates are accepted for all UK visa categories including settlement, work visas, and citizenship applications.
How quickly can you translate Arabic police clearance?
We normally deliver in 48-72 hours, and the same day if your visa deadline is urgent. A police clearance certificate is usually one page, so it can be translated quickly.
Do I need an apostille on my Arabic police clearance?
UKVI does not always require apostille on police clearance certificates, but it depends on the country. Some Arab states (e.g. UAE, Bahrain, Oman) are Hague Convention members and can issue apostilles. Others require embassy attestation. We can advise on legalisation requirements for your specific country.
What if my Arabic police clearance shows convictions?
We translate the document exactly as issued, whether it confirms a clear record or lists previous offences. Our translation is neutral and accurate: we do not add or remove any information from the original certificate.
