Can I get a police clearance certificate if I'm under investigation and have a travel ban?
Good morning, lawyers,
I have a situation. I was called for questioning as the case is still under investigation, and I later realized they issued a travel ban against me.
However, I need a police clearance certificate.
Will I be able to obtain the police clearance, or will it be denied because of the travel ban?
Hello,
Police Clearance Certificates in the UAE are issued based on the applicant’s criminal record.
If a travel ban is imposed, it suggests that you are involved in an unresolved legal matter (whether civil or criminal), and this status may prevent the issuance of a PCC because the authorities would usually require that all legal matters, including investigations or cases, be resolved before granting such a clearance.

The issuance of police clearance certificates involves thorough background checks within the UAE's law enforcement systems.
These checks will likely reveal the travel ban and any associated investigations, potentially impacting the outcome of your application.
We will have to remove the travel ban first in order to obtain the police clearance certificate. We will let you know the procedures in detail.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out!
If there is a travel ban imposed on you, the police clearance certificate will not be issued until the travel ban is resolved.
The travel ban indicates that there is a pending legal matter or investigation, which directly affects the issuance of such certificates.

Good morning, and thank you for reaching out with your question!
In the UAE, having a travel ban in place typically does not prevent you from obtaining a Police Clearance Certificate.
The Police Clearance Certificate is usually issued based on your criminal record, and it is not automatically withheld due to a travel ban.
However, there are some important considerations:
- Investigation Status:
Since your case is still under investigation, the authorities may place restrictions on your ability to leave the country.
While this does not generally affect your eligibility for a police clearance, it is important to note that the travel ban could indicate that you are under investigation or facing legal restrictions related to the case.
- Issuance of Police Clearance:
Typically, if you do not have any criminal record or active legal issues, you should be able to obtain the certificate.
However, if the investigation or case results in a legal conviction or pending charges, this could affect the clearance.
- Procedure:
You may proceed with the application for the police clearance certificate. If there are any complications due to the travel ban or ongoing investigation, the authorities will inform you of any issues at that stage.
To be certain, it is advisable to check with the relevant authorities or the police department where you plan to apply for the clearance.
You may also want to consult with your lawyer to ensure no legal issues affect your application.
