How to apply for stop searching and get clearance certificate after a case is dropped?

Salam,

I would like to ask for your advice regarding a criminal case filed against me 9 years ago.

As per the public prosecution, charges were dropped in 2018 and I got court papers saying the case is dropped.

However, my name still remains in the police database. I applied 4 times for PCC in the last 4 years, all got canceled.

Can you advise on this?

Thank you

I did and they replied with this.

لا تعتبر القضايا التي تم فيها إصدار أمر بألا وجه لإقامة الدعوى من السوابق التي يقتضي معها رد الاعتبار

Can you help please?

Dear M. U. A.,

You need to visit:

Request "Stop Searching" (كف البحث - which is a proper term for the clearance certificate required).

Dear Madam,

I requested the same and got approved!

May Allah shower his blessings upon you.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Thank you
