Many countries around the world now require police clearance certificates (PCC) for foreigners coming to their country. If the individual has lived in more than one country, it may be necessary to obtain a police clearance from every country in which he or she has lived. The government of Kuwait requires that all non-Kuwaiti citizens applying for residence provide a police clearance certificate from their home country. This document must be authenticated by the Embassy of the State of Kuwait in the country where the PCC was issued.

American citizens in the process of obtaining Kuwaiti residency should obtain a police clearance from the United States prior to their arrival in Kuwait. Please note that police clearances are also required for dependents. U.S. Department of State authentication (USDOS) and embassy legalization for U.S. documents must be completed in the United States.

Police Clearance Retrieval for Visa

In the USA, a citizen can obtain a police clearance from various sources including city, county or state police departments. They can also obtain a federal police clearance from the FBI. If you live in the United States, you can complete most of these procedures yourself at a local police station or through the FBI. However, if you are living overseas you may need a third party in the US to help you to obtain a police clearance. We at Roca Authentications LLC can assist you in retrieving your U.S. police clearance certificate.
