How long does it take to get the rehabilitation certificate issued?
Hello Sirs/Madam,
I have been informed by the CID that I need to submit a rehabilitation certificate to obtain my police clearance.
My offense was a 1st-degree misdemeanor (breach of trust), resulting in 1 month of jail time and deportation (which has now been removed by a mercy request).
My question is: How long does it take to get the rehabilitation certificate issued?
Thank you!

Dear Ahmad,
Thank you for your inquiry!
In regards to your question, the process to obtain a rehabilitation certificate after an offense is usually dependent on the specifics of your case, including the nature of the offense and the conditions of the rehabilitation request.
Typically, it may take between 1 to 3 months to receive the rehabilitation certificate from the relevant authorities in the UAE. However, please note that this timeline can vary.
I recommend directly contacting the authority handling your case or the relevant government department to get an exact timeline and any further requirements specific to your situation.
If you need further assistance or require help with the next steps, feel free to reach out.

Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.
For your first-degree misdemeanor (breach of trust), the rehabilitation process typically takes three years from the sentence enforcement date.
Submit a rehabilitation request to your local general prosecution, including personal details and judgment information.
The prosecution will investigate your post-judgment behavior and report to the court within a month.
The process involves submitting the request, registration, obtaining behavior reports, and a criminal record certificate.
While initial submission takes about 20 minutes, the entire process, including investigations and court approval, can be longer.
If rejected, you can reapply after 6 months. For a precise timeline, contact your local prosecution office as processing times may vary.
Thanks and Regards
