DCI Good Conduct Certificate Bundle
Coordination of the Certificate of Good Conduct application through the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, followed by express authentication through the Ministry and UAE embassy attestation.
Complete DCI Good Conduct Certificate service including application processing in Nairobi, MFA authentication, and UAE MOFA attestation. Ideal for Kenyan professionals relocating to the UAE.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Good Conduct Certificate, commonly known as a police clearance, is required for virtually all UAE employment and residence visa applications. For Kenyans living abroad, obtaining and authenticating this certificate can be a frustrating process involving multiple government offices in Nairobi.
Green Apple Attest offers a bundled service that covers the entire DCI clearance process. From filing your application at DCI headquarters to collecting the certificate, routing it through MFA authentication, UAE Embassy legalisation, and final MOFA attestation, we handle every stage so you do not have to coordinate with multiple parties.
Our Nairobi team monitors your DCI application daily and moves the certificate through each subsequent step the moment it is ready. This back-to-back processing eliminates the dead time that typically adds weeks to the overall timeline.
