A Police Clearance Certificate contains details of any 'disclosable' convictions relating to the applicant under the Criminal Law of The Republic of Maldives. The issuance of Police Clearance Certificates is the responsibility of the Maldives Police Service. However, in certain circumstances, the High Commission may be able to provide assistance with applications.

Police Clearance Certificates can now be obtained through an online application. Please read the following guidelines before starting your application.

You may apply for a police certificate using this online service. A notification email will be sent to you once your application is received. The token included in the email can be used to continue an incomplete application at a later time. This token will only be valid for 72 hours. Once the certificate is ready, a notification will be sent to the mobile number (Maldivian phone numbers only) and email address provided.
