How Do I Go About Obtaining Police Certificate In Nigeria

the process is very simple

you will need the following items

1. a recent passport photo

2. full set of fingerprints (you should be able to get this done from a police station in the Uk)

3. Your passport number

Let a relative or friend take these documents to FCID Alagbon, Lagos (or branches elsewhere) and request for a police clearance certificate, along with the reason you need this clearance. It can be done for you the same day, depending on the mood of the person in charge and how much you are willing to pay.

When I did mine personally like 2 years ago, I paid 1500 naira, it may cost you between 3-5k depending on how well you haggle.

my dad did it for me when i needed a fresh one like 2 months back, it should be no stress at all.

you can then get the person to mail it to you.

I dont think it can be done at any police station, I'm guessing its only done at the Area Command or HQ in each state, my friend got his done somewhere in Ibadan, but my personal experience is with Alagbon, and I got it done the same day. I'm sure whoever is doing it for you can inquire at the nearest police station and they'll direct him/her accordingly.

cheers mate.
