How to get a police clearance / good conduct certificate in Bahrain?

Hi,

On March 2019, I sought help in this group on how to get Bahrain Good Conduct Certificate(GCC) for my parents who lived in Bahrain in the 70s and 80s when CPR numbers were not used. I have an update.

My dad's CPR number was found so I could use it to apply for his GCC. My mom could not find her CPR. I took her documents to Bahrain and after visiting few offices accidentally bumped in to my mom's CPR number in one of her old passport pages. CPR number are unique for every individual and starts with the year and month of birth. A good Uber driver (Mr.Subbaiah) in Bahrain told me about that so I was able to recognize that number as my mom's CPR number. It started with 5407, 1954 my mom's year of birth and 07 her month of birth.

Once I found the number, the process of applying for GCC is simple and straightforward as updated by a member in Dec 2019 in the initial thread.

Thanks for this thread that helped me when I was in need.

Best Regards,
Shobana

Nov/Dec 2020 Update:

Muharraq Office is working again.
Take an appointment through the Skiplino app. Book for GCC, no need to book for fingerprinting separately, if fingerprints are needed they will refer you to that dept.
Get there early as parking is limited on the side street and lots of one-way roads. 
Enter within 10 mins of your appointment. Wear a mask! 
They will take your paperwork and enter it online. Debit card payment of fee on the spot - contactless preferred (aka 'wireless').
They transfer you to fingerprinting automatically on the Skiplino app - it's in the same office, just wait to be called.
Use copious amounts of hand sanitiser! 
Then you're done. No receipts or anything.
You'll get a text message later for confirmation and an e-receipt that application is in.
A few days later you're told it's ready for collection.
Book an appointment on Skiplino for certficate collection.
As above to get there early, park and enter within 10 mins of appointment time.
Collect certificate.
Scan / Photo it for backup.
Celebrate the super efficient processes in Bahrain 

The whole process is detailed right before your post and also here:

So I am not sure what you are asking.  Spend the time and read - everything has already been answered.

Hi thanks a lot for your response.

So i dont think the options available will work for me. The certificate is for Immigration purpose and i already have the documents prepared including the fingerprint card from the bahrain embassy, i asked if i can expedite it but unfortunately the process abroad will take 3 to 4 months. Thats why i wanna know if i can send all this docs to my friend in bahrain along with authorization letter so she can request for it on my behalf.
Im a bit behind the schedule to wait that long to proceed with my immigration process. Hoping theres a fastest way

Keep in mind that authorized letter might not be enough.  They are in the habit of asking for a power of attorney, attested by Bahrain embassy in the country of execution.

And the only faster way is for you to come here and physically get it done.  No other way.

After doing this will they send soft copies to email ?

If you can apply online (if your fingerprints are in the system) and choose pdf option, yes.

Max how many days it takes for getting police clearance certificate from CID??

For most people, within a week.

For me its a week and still no update!! What could be the reason? Does any one s took that long to
Come?

For some people on this forum, it took months.   So keep waiting and hope for the best.

@XTang 100% right. I applied online recently and gave the fingerprints at Hoora police station.

@XTang please clarify for me on that bit of filling form where you have to fill employer CT number. What if you're a flexi visa holder?

What is required documents for fingerprint registration in police station

No need original passport

@singhharinder2979

You will require proof that you have applied for PCC Certificate. The online application printout will work.

@topinsight01

My fingerprints not registered in system

@singhharinder2979

You can create an application even if the fingerprint is not registered in the system. After you have applied online. It will ask you to register the fingerprint. So just go with the application paper.

@singhharinder2979

It depends on the nationality and whether you are in or outside Bahrain.

No one can predict the processing time.

Hi everyone! I wanted to know how I can obtain a good conduct certificate from the Bahrain authorities. I had previously lived in Bahrain in 2020 for 9 months and then again in 2021-2022 for another 9.5 months on 2 separate residence permit visa. I'm back again in Bahrain to attend a few meetings, but this time on a visit visa. When I try to apply through the bahrain.bh portal, it says that the RP should have a validity of 10+ days. If I try to apply as an ex-resident foreigner, it shows that the service is only available for residents who previously resided in Bahrain (I'm assuming that is because my CPR (linked to my passport) is showing that I'm in Bahrain currently). Any idea on how I can proceed?

As you are in Bahrain and do not have a residency permit you will not be able to apply. You should go out of the country and click the option certificate issuance for foreigners outside kingdom of Bahrain. You need to type in the cor number. There is no problem whether you have changed the passport.

If you are not interested to wait. Book an appointment with CID Muharrawqbranch and take an appointment through MAWAEID App and you can apply personally.

@topinsight01

Thanks for the quick reply. Any idea if they will be requiring a letter for the good conduct certificate. I require the certificate for Australian immigration purposes.
