Dear All,

Reference to PCC in Riyadh:

Please note that MOFA does not accept the copy sent by LVO requesting PCC certificate. They ask for original from Embassy. So please do not waste your time going to MOFA with copy received from LVO. You can have two ways:

1. Send an email to Canadian Embassy in Riyadh @ Riyadh.visa@international.gc.sa , attach the letter received from LVO along with copies of your and your wife PP and Iqama and ask them to issue you a reference letter from Saudi Authorities for PCC. They will respond to you in 48 hours and you can go and collect your letter from Canadian Embassy in Riyadh, take it to MOFA, get attested and follow the process outlined by other friends of going to Dheera etc....

2. I obtained a letter from my Pakistan Embassy(1 FOR ME, 1 FOR MY WIFE FROM WELFARE SECTION), got it attested from MOFA, took it to police station in Dheera, did finger prints etc and got the slip to collect the PCC in few days time. I am not sure though if LVO will accept this PCC which is requested from Pakistan Embassy. Any one knows this??????????????, coz PCC will most probably mention that it was requested from Pakistan Embassy and not Canadian Embassy. Any idea guys?????\

Well in my case, MOFA accepted the copy sent by LVO and they stamped on it. I feel that their mood was good that time.

Guys
Info for those needing Saudi PCC, Riyadh region.
Go to the welfare officer in your embassy with copies of passport, iqama and photos.
They will issue a stamped letter on there letterhead (in Arabic).
Take this and the original Iqama to MOFA for certification and approval (SAR 30 each).
MOFA timings 0700 to 1400, with long queues and wait times (they will stamp and sign it on the spot).

Next go to إدارة الأدلة الجنائية البصمات (crime branch of shurta) located on "Ash Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Ibrahim" road
between batha and salaam park. Coordinates are 24.627649, 46.715840

There they have separate offices for ladies and gents. (Timings are 0700 to 1400)
Documents required (the approved letter from MOFA + Original passport + Original Iqama + 2 photos) No charges.
They will do finger printing, and you will get a receipt for pickup with a date (usually 5 days).

Hope this is of help to those in need of a Saudi PCC,
as i recently went through the process.

Dear Doc2015
Have you already collected and submitted your PCC. I have also used the Pakistan Embassy letter as MOFA rejected the copy of the Canadian letter sent as attachment by LVO. Would PCC requested by Pakistan Embassy Work? or will it be rejected by LVO. Thanks and regards

Has anyone obtained Indian PCC from Indian embassy in Riyadh? If yes, can you let me know whether I will need a letter from Canadian embassy requesting the Indian embassy to issue Indian PCC and whether this letter should be stamped by MOFA for Indian embassy to accept the letter?

Appreciate any inputs in this regards.

I sent my Saudi PCC and it said Indian embassy requested it
NDVO accepted that PCC
don't worry get it translated and submit it
Main thing they are concerned about is if you have any criminal records

Hi Future Canadians

Does anybody in this forum have experience of getting a Dubai Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from Jeddah?

I have already read all information of Dubai Police Website. Any help from someone's experience would be highly appreciated.

Dear
YES. You can go alone.
NO Biometrics.

PPR photo format is different from VFS photo requirement.
So take extra photos, 2 with stamp of name & address of photographer + Your name & applicant no.
Preferably type the update form, so there are no errors ! in names and DOB.
Printed copy of the PPR letter.

Best wishes
Hope it helps.

The Saudi Police authorities wrote wrong D.O.B on my application, one day before my original DOB. Is this going to create an issue? I have discussed with the certified translator and he said he will only write the year of birth. Is that ok?

Thats all.
