Overview
About Police filings
A police character certificate, also called police clearance, confirms you have no criminal record. Visa desks, employers and NYSC often ask for it.
You fill the form and upload your documents on your phone, and pay once. A vetted partner firm submits the application and books your fingerprint capture, the one step that needs you in person.
