Please if you have gotten a police report from the Nigerian Embassy in the UK. How long did it take? I just spoke on the phone to a very rude Nigerian at Nigerian Embassy UK and she practically hung up on me

You do not get police report from the high commission,if you have lost your documents,you need to contact the police for a police report.The high commission do not issue that.

Those at the high commission can be rude and very frustrating,you need to know what you want and the necessary documents that you need and how to get them.

Try the Nigeria high commission website,it might be useful.

You don't get that from Nigerian embassy, the UK police issues you one though it depends on how many years report you are required to bring and how long you have being in the UK.

If you don't meet the condition to be issued one in the UK then you have to get a letter from Nigeria embassy in London, take the letter to police station in your area, pay and get finger print done then send the finger print to CID in Nigeria for police report.

Thanks guys. Its not for a lost document. Its a form of CRB from Nigeria. I got a job with the Ministry and they sent me an email that they dont do CRB checks outside the UK but that I should go to my embassy and get a Police certificate clearance from my country. I need it ASAP but I have a feeling I will hear stories at the Nigerian Embassy tomorrow. The information is actually on the Nigerian embassy website and cost 25 pounds but my problem is that I need it fast. Has anyone tried to use the Nigeriancrb.com? Will give you guys feedback tomorrow when I get back from the Nigerian Embassy.
NB: I havent been in the Uk for long, just 4 months plus and I am sure the CRB is for way longer because the HR lady called it a disclosure scotland check...whatever that means.

Hi Justwise, you were sooo right o! The embassy didnt mention anything about a letter. All they siad was that I should pay 15 pounds for postal order to Nigeria and 10 pounds postal order for administration fees for the Police certificate. I went to the embassy today and they said they have mailed me the letter. I got the finger prints done at the Police station and I didnt need a letter from the Embassy. They did the finger prints on their own police paper afterwards I went to the embassy and realised that they were about to send me to the police station with a letter I didnt even need. The lady at the embassy said its my problem from here that I should look for a way to send it to Nigeria.

Yes..tried that couple of year ago they charged me £15 for the letter i took to police station for fingerprint then sent the fingerprint paper to my brother in Nigeria who then went to CID to get the CRC done and post it back to me. It was a long stressful thing, if you have somebody who can do it quicker for you in Nigeria then it will take less time

I have a friend travelling back to Nigeria today. I will give it to her so that she can give my mother inlaw to help me get it done and then post it back to me. The paper they used for the finger print says for imigration/visa fingerprint with the metrpolitan letter head. Do you think it will matter?? The finger print cost 70.50 and I had had to beg my way into the police station because i didnt have an appointment today.

I paid £20 for mine, the letterhead is ok, nothing wrong with that at all.
