different for foreign use?

Many applicants apply for police clearance for immigration, visa, or overseas employment purposes. Applications for immigration or visa purposes follow the standard government fee structure.

  • Embassy-specific requirements
  • Additional attestation or legalization services
  • Courier delivery charges (if applicable)

Applicants should clearly distinguish between these different types of charges:

  • Government police clearance fee
