How can I get a clearance certificate for a semi-government company after a DUI fine?
Hi,
My brother was caught driving under the influence of drugs and was fined 9,000 AED. The court decided that he could pay it in four monthly installments.
My question is, can my brother get a clearance certificate for a semi-government company since he was working there?
What is the process to obtain a clearance certificate for the company?
Dear Inquirer,
Thank you for reaching out!
Your brother’s ability to obtain a clearance certificate will depend on the company's internal policies and the legal standing of his case.
While paying the fine in installments is allowed by the court, certain semi-government entities may still have specific requirements regarding criminal records and background checks.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding your brother’s situation and his eligibility to obtain a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) for employment.
Based on the details provided, please find the following professional advice:
1. Impact of Criminal Record:
The driving offense under the influence of drugs and subsequent fine may be reflected on your brother’s criminal record, which could affect his ability to obtain a clean PCC.
2. Application Process:
To apply for a PCC, your brother can:
- Visit the Dubai Police website or app.
- Select “Good Conduct Certificate” under Criminal Services.
- Fill out the application form, upload necessary documents, and pay the applicable fee.
3. Required Documents:
- Emirates ID (original and copy).
- Passport copy.
- Recent passport-sized photograph.
4. Company's Requirements:
As it is a semi-government entity, they may have specific policies regarding criminal records. It is advisable to contact their HR department directly to confirm their requirements for PCCs and how this may impact his employment.
5. Waiting Period:
Depending on UAE regulations, there may be a waiting period before a clean PCC can be issued after certain offenses. Your brother should inquire with the Dubai Police about any such restrictions related to his case.
6. Legal Consultation:
Given the nature of the offense, consulting with a legal professional specializing in UAE labor law and criminal matters may provide clarity on resolving this issue effectively.
Your brother needs to approach the matter transparently with the company and ensure all necessary steps are taken to address any concerns regarding his criminal record.
Should you require further assistance or clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Best regards,
Your brother’s case involves a DUI offense, and while he has been fined and granted an installment plan for payment, obtaining a clearance certificate for employment at a semi-government entity depends on multiple factors, including the company’s internal policies and the legal status of the case.
Generally, after fulfilling all legal obligations (including completing the payment of fines), a Good Conduct Certificate (Police Clearance Certificate) can be requested from the Dubai Police.
However, since the case involves a drug-related offense, there might be restrictions on obtaining a clean certificate, and it may require additional steps such as a rehabilitation certificate or special approvals.
I can assist you in reviewing the case details, advising on the necessary procedures, and guiding you through the process of obtaining the required clearance.
Please reach out to me on WhatsApp or phone to discuss this further.

Dear questioner,
To obtain a Good Conduct Certificate (Clearance Certificate) after a criminal case, all fines must be fully paid, and the case must be officially closed.
The certificate can be requested through the Dubai Police or the Ministry of Interior via their online platforms or service centers.
However, employment approval at the company or any government/semi-government entity depends on their internal hiring policies, which may include reviewing the applicant’s criminal record.
It is advisable to contact their HR department to confirm their employment requirements.
For further legal assistance, feel free to contact me.
