Getting a Police Clearance from a country when I was under 18

[diyaeldin]

Hi All,

Do I need to get a police clearance from the country where I was born and lived till I was 10 years old ?
I know that clearance is required for countries where you stay more than 6 months, but what about countries where I lived in before I turn 18 ?

regards,

Anyone ?

you need to give more details. Like in which country you were born?

are you a national of that country?

in which country you are residing now?

no only countries that you lived in for over 6 months after the age of 18

Offences committed whilst a minor don't count and therefore aren't looked at

In general, you and all the people in your family who are 18 or older need to get a police certificate.

You may need a police certificate from any country or territory that you have spent six months or more since the age of 18.

I'm Sudanese currently living in Qatar, and I was born in Saudi Arabia. I left Saudi Arabia at the age of 10. the Saudi Embassy is currently closed in Qatar due to the on going political issue, so getting that clearance might take ages.
Thanks to Gavin, now I know that I don't have to get.
