Singapore COC pls help

[Vladsayame 5]

Hi everyone.. I have a friend who received a 221g asking for SG COC and i wanna help her so just wanna ask anyone out there who had experience in requesting COC in Singapore, so my question is 1. Is it ok if a friend residing in Singapore can request for it provided that all the needed docs were send to her.

2. If yes, how she will know if the COC is completed so she can get it and send it back to my friend in Philippines.

I'm clueless of how this work, your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I don't have personal experience doing this but have been researching it because my fiancé will have to do the exact same thing.

From what I understand, your friend can get their fingerprints done at a local police station and send those along with the forms and payment to a friend in SG. The friend can then take the forms to the police in SG and request they pick up the COC when complete.

Here's a link with some pretty good info

Certificate of Clearance

Available. The police records for Singapore may be considered complete from their origins to the present, except for the "occupation" period during World War II..

For all applicants, a form letter from the requesting/processing office (NVC, KCC, Embassy, employer etc.) is required to obtain a Certificate of Clearance (COC). Such letter should specify the need for the clearance and state explicitly that "a statutory declaration of no criminal conviction by the applicant is not acceptable as evidence that he/she does not have criminal convictions". The COC will be sent directly to the requesting/processing office..

Applicants residing in Singapore are to appear in person at the COC Office located at Blk D Police Cantonment Complex, #02-07/08, 391 New Bridge Road , Singapore 088762. The office is open from 8.30am to 12.00pm , Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays)..

Processing fee is S$55.00 per application. Payment can be made by cash, NETS , cash card, or credit cards (VISA/MASTERCARD) for walk-in application. Application sent by post (from overseas) must be accompanied by a bank draft made payable to ‘Head Criminal Records CID ’ through a Singapore-based bank. In addition to the processing fee, a postage fee of S$5.00 must be included in the payment (total S$50.00) if the COC is to be mailed. Payment is non- refundable once the application is accepted..

All applicants must complete the Certificate of Clearance application form in full and submit it with the necessary supporting documents:.

A set of applicant’s fingerprint impressions (ten prints). Applicants applying in person will be fingerprinted at the COC office at the time of application. For application by post from overseas, the applicant must submit a set of his/her fingerprint impressions taken by a qualified Fingerprint Officer at a Police Station or an authorized office of the country he/she is now residing.
