Police Clearance Certificate after serving a jail term

Question

Q: My husband is now serving a 1-year sentence in Dubai under a criminal case. After that, if he applies for a Police Clearance Certificate from the embassy, will they provide it… A: I would really doubt that such record is to be considered non-existent. It will remain on his criminal record…

Dear Questioner,

I would really doubt that such record is to be considered non-existent because your husband did the time. It will remain on his criminal record forever.

However, the issuance of the certificate without the criminal records depends on how many years after the time it was applied, and the nature of the crime committed.
