Q: In case of police clearance certificate rejection, do the police give a reason for rejection?

Q: Dear All, I'm facing a case since 2013 but charges of breach of trust were dropped. However, I suffer to obtain a police certificate from Dubai police. I applied 4 times but still got rejected. Even though charges were dropped in 2018 but the same case still appears on Dubai police online portal. Is this the reason the Dubai police have rejected my application for PCC? I even have the file of the dropped case. What can I do in this case?

Q: Hello, Around 2 years back, I was acquitted (found innocent) in a financial case in the Court of First Instance and Court of Appeal as well in Dubai. I received my passport back but I never went to the police station after that. I have changed visa and travelled without a problem. Recently, I applied for a Police Clearance Certificate and it was rejected. My brother went to the police station and they told him I have a file there. Now, I feel scared to go myself as I don't know if it's an old case I mentioned and I just need to clear it from the system or something new. Is this because I didn't submit the judgement papers to the police station? Or more likely some new case? I am interested in hiring a lawyer to help me with this. Thank you

Q: Good evening, everyone! I left Dubai in January 2023, and I am currently in the process of applying for a UK visa. I was asked to provide a Dubai police clearance certificate, which I did. However, I recently found out that the Dubai police clearance certificate I provided has been canceled. I have no prior cases against me in Dubai, so I'm wondering if the cancellation is related to the outpass I obtained to leave the country. Can an outpass prevent me from obtaining a Dubai police clearance certificate? I only have a few days left to respond to UKvi.

Q: Respected Advisors, I have been involved in a few criminal cases since 2017, but all of them were cleared by this year. I have obtained release letters for all the cases from the public prosecution office through an online portal. Recently, I also received my residence visa. After the visa process was completed, I applied for a PCC online. However, the request was rejected. I contacted the 901 office, and they advised me to visit the CID. I arranged for a power of attorney to be granted along with all the necessary documents to update the system. Twice I was told to come in person, but I am hesitant to do so because of my previous negative experience. Could someone please advise me whether I must go in person or if the person holding the power of attorney can handle the process? Thank you!

Q: Once someone has been acquitted in the misdemeanor court, then why is it showing in CID headquarters that he is wanted in the police station once again?

With the introduction of the new procedures for obtaining a power of attorney (POA) remotely in the UAE, after it was mandatory to appear in person in front of the notary public as a global rule to ensure the identity and intention of the person requesting a POA, we put between your hands this brief guide for how you get it done.

The law promulgates UAE Criminal Procedural Law (Penal Procedures Law) which governs criminal procedures in the UAE. This law applies to the procedures relating to offences whose punishments are not specified, dogma and punitive offences, and blood money, if they do not violate the Sharia rules.
