Hey Guys,

Hoping someone can help me with this. I requested for Dubai Police Clearance Certificate and received it today - however, they have included my father's name in the middle of my name. I think that's Middle East way of writing name because in my residence visa my name is written that way. However, in my Passport and in all other documents I don't include my father's name in the middle of my name.

My question is - is this acceptable for Express Entry purpose or not. In case not, what options do I have?

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
KT

Hi KT, I am facing the same issue now, they have added my fathers name along with my name in dubai police clearance. Did you get it corrected from dubai police or simply submitted what you got. If you did, did you have to submit a letter of explanation? How did you go about it?.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Ginu, I submitted the police certificate as it is and included a letter explaining the Arabic naming convention. It was accepted without any issues. Good luck!
