Ghana Police Clearance Bundle
Coordinated processing of Ghana Police Service CID clearance certificates, including application assistance for UAE-based clients, through the full authentication chain with priority handling.
Complete Ghana Police Service clearance certificate service including application, collection, MFA authentication, and full UAE attestation. Designed for Ghanaians relocating to the UAE for employment.
The Ghana Police Service Police Clearance Certificate is required for virtually all UAE employment and residence visa applications. For Ghanaians living outside the country, navigating the application process and subsequent authentication chain from abroad can be challenging and time-consuming.
Green Apple Attest offers a bundled service covering the complete workflow. We file your application with the Ghana Police Service, track processing, collect the certificate upon issuance, and immediately route it through MFA authentication, UAE Embassy legalisation, and MOFA attestation. Every step is managed back-to-back to eliminate dead time.
Our Accra team is experienced with Ghana Police Service processing procedures and maintains regular contact with the relevant department. We know the expected timelines, the common causes of delay, and how to resolve issues quickly should they arise.

Insider tips
Frequently asked questions
Processing by the Ghana Police Service typically takes 10 to 15 working days from the date of application. Our team monitors progress and collects the certificate the day it is ready to avoid any postal delays.
You can visit the Ghana Embassy in Abu Dhabi for fingerprinting. Alternatively, fingerprints taken at any recognised fingerprinting facility can be used if they are on the correct Ghana Police form. We provide the form and guidance on locations.
UAE authorities generally require police clearances to be less than six months old from the date of issue. We recommend timing the application so that the full authentication process completes well within this window.
Yes. Many clients combine the police clearance bundle with degree attestation or other document services. Processing documents in parallel through the same MFA and Embassy chain saves time and reduces costs.
