QatarPolice Clearance Certificate

If you have previously lived in Qatar, you may be asked to obtain a Qatar Police Clearance Certificate. You can apply yourself in Qatar or you may apply through the Embassy of Qatar in Ottawa.

Qatar Police Clearance Certificate requirements (application through the Qatar Embassy)

To apply for your Qatar PCC from the Embassy of Qatar in Ottawa you are required to provide a number of supporting documents:

• A cover letter stating your request and the purpose.
• A copy of the passport used in Qatar.
• A copy of your old or expired residence visa in Qatar.
• A copy of your current passport.
• A copy of your current valid residence permit/citizenship in Canada (PRC, Work Permit, etc.).
• A fingerprint form (C-216C) which may be obtained at a police station (notarized, authenticated and legalized) – if you had a Qatar Residency Permit after the year 2012, you are exempt from submitting a Canadian Fingerprint form.
• Four passport size photographs (size: 4.8cm x 3.8cm).

We would be happy to assist you with your Qatar Police Clearance Certificate application. If you have further questions about the application process, feel free to contact our friendly staff.

The pricing for the attestation of your documents at the Embassy of Qatar will vary depending on the type and number of documents you have. Personal and commercial documents may have different consular fees as well. You may review the consular fees on the Embassy of Qatar website.

We encourage you to contact us, so we can discuss your situation and give you an idea of the costs involved with the attestation, or authentication and legalization, of your documents for Qatar. When you contact our friendly experts we’ll review your document attestation needs, explain your options and answer your questions. We’ll also give you a detailed quote so you can see exactly what steps are involved and what the costs will be. Phone us toll-free at 1-888-433-1011 or fill out our quick form and we’ll get right back to you.

Once all the required documents have been submitted to the Embassy of Qatar to apply for the Police Clearance Certificate, it will take between 2-6 months before it will be issued and ready at the embassy.

If you are required to supply a legalized fingerprint form as a part of your application for the Police Clearance Certificate, the process may take longer. This is because of the time required to notarize, authenticate, and legalize the fingerprint form prior to applying for the Qatar PCC.

Contact our expert staff to find out how long it will take and to ask us questions about this process. Call us toll-free at 1-888-433-1011 or fill out a quick contact us form.
