Hi! I just wanted to ask the following to the people who have received a good conduct certificate specifically from Bahrain:

Does it have any validity and for how long?

Does it contain the date you have resided and until you left Bahrain?

And when you requested for the GCC, did they require any letter from US embassy?

Hi! I just wanted to ask the following to the people who have received a good conduct certificate specifically from Bahrain:

Does it have any validity and for how long?

Does it contain the date you have resided and until you left Bahrain?

And when you requested for the GCC, did they require any letter from US embassy?

Please read email below I have received from US EMBASSY IN BAHRAIN:

How To Obtain A Bahrain Good Conduct Certificate:

Police Record

Available. To obtain a Bahraini GOOD CONDUCT CERTIFICATE, write to: General Directorate of Criminal Investigation (CID), P.O. Box 26698, Manama, State of Bahrain. The letter should contain a request for an application for a "Good Conduct Certificate" (Form PS/CID/6) with a statement explaining that the certificate is needed for immigration. Applicants should complete and return it to the CID at the above address along with the following:

· Two matte (i.e., non-glossy) photographs;

· A photocopy of the first four pages of the applicant's passport;(where all the biographic data is mentioned)

· A photocopy of all previous Bahraini residence permits;

· A letter from the applicant's current employer indicating that they have no objection to the applicant's departure.

If the applicant is living in Bahrain, the CID will schedule an interview, during which the applicant will be fingerprinted. The certificate is usually issued within 3-5 days after the interview. Records are somewhat unreliable prior to 1967. There is a fee for this service of Bahrain Dinars 1.000 or U.S. $3.00 for this service. Checks and Bank Drafts are not accepted.

Applicants no longer living in Bahrain should follow the same procedure and provide the same documentation. However, they will also have to provide a set of fingerprints taken by local police in their country of residence.

If there is a Bahrain Embassy where the applicant resides, the can contact the Bahrain Embassy to complete the necessary formalities.

Note: Certificates are not issued for holders of visitor's visas. In order for CID to issue a Good Conduct

Hi! I just wanted to ask the following to the people who have received a good conduct certificate specifically from Bahrain:

Does it have any validity and for how long?

YES, it is only valid for 3 MONTHS.

Does it contain the date you have resided and until you left Bahrain?

YES! You have to send them the very first residence permit/visa that has been stamped in your passport.

And when you requested for the GCC, did they require any letter from US embassy?

Hi! I just wanted to ask the following to the people who have received a good conduct certificate specifically from Bahrain:

Does it have any validity and for how long?

Does it contain the date you have resided and until you left Bahrain?

And when you requested for the GCC, did they require any letter from US embassy?

Following is their website :

http://www.cri.gov.bh/en/

Procedures for applications for a certificate of good conduct (Bahrain)

http://www.cri.gov.bh/en/services/#1

someone was complaining that they have to send a request to get the form first which takes a lot time, here is the PDF version of the form on their website :)

http://www.cri.gov.bh/mcms-store/pdf/application_form.pdf

I hope it helps anyone who is trying to get good conduct or police certificate from Bahrain

Thanks a lot, I didn't know their website before. I just want to ask if they do accept police certificates if exceeds the validity period. They told me that its only valid for 3 months. I wanted to get it as early as possible because some say it takes time for the certificates to be released.

Sorry for the late response, Yes Police certificate is valid only for 3 months, but I believe if you are not living in Bahrain anymore then NVC / Embassy accepts same certificate even if its expired.

No it doesn't take so long for the certificate to be issued I got it within 2 days. I applied for it just few days before we send our documents to NVC because I didnt want to get another one for the US embassy and I hope they schedule my interview before this one expires :clock:

Let me know if you need further information regarding Police certificate from Bahrain.
