Certificate Of Residence Cambodia

[Crystle Rike]

Somejobs in Cambodia do require criminal background checks and the police certificate is the official document issued for this. These checks might be required for teaching jobs, those working in the legal profession, with embassies and consulates, international agencies, non-profit organisations and other professions, and even in certain cases for individuals to travel.

If you are a foreigner living and working in Cambodia, you should first try and contact your embassy in the Kingdom to see if they have a service to assist in obtaining a criminal background check. However, we appreciate that many nationalities are not represented in Cambodia with embassies or consulates. You could also try to contact your relevant business chamber who might be able to assist. If your Embassy is unable to assist in obtaining a police clearance certificate from Cambodian authorities, please follow the guide below.

To obtain a Police Clearance report required for a criminal background check, foreigners should go to the Criminal Office at the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to request a Police Certificate. The MoJ is located at #240 Sothearos Blvd on the riverside in Phnom Penh.

The British Embassy in Cambodia charges $70 for up to 21 days and $140 for 10 days. Private consulting firms can also be used but their fees tend to be higher so its worth asking around for a good price and reliable service.

If you are based in Cambodia, the DoJ requires you to submit the form yourself. However, if you are not in the country, you also authorise someone to apply for the Police Certificate on your behalf. The applicant should complete an authorization form (available at the Criminal Office at the Ministry of Justice), and submit all of the completed forms.

In February 2023, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) announced the initial phases to allow individuals to apply for their Police Clearance Certificate online. At this stage, the form can be completed and submitted online via the MoJ website or their app but payments and fingerprints are still required to be done in person at the Ministry. This system will hopefully add more functionality to allow for online payments etc in the future.

A Residence Certification Letter is required when applying for a Police Certificate in Cambodia. Foreigners need to go to the local commune (Sangkat) office where they reside/resided in Cambodia to request the letter. There is a no-standard administrative fee for the provision of this letter advises the Australian Embassy in Cambodia.

The applicant may authorize someone living in Cambodia to apply for this letter for them You will need to provide an authorization letter for that authorised person if this is the case. Please note that the acceptance and issuing of a Residence Certificate Letter are dependent on the commune (Sangkat) office. As always it would be advisable to have someone who speaks Khmer and can assist if you do not understand the language. Foreigners are advised to request a Residence Certification Letter from their local commune (Sangkat) office prior to leaving their Cambodian place of residence.

Although not specific to documents needed for the police clearance checks, expats and those working in the Kingdom, often require to have documents notarized for official business or other legal reasons (academic studies abroad or affidavits for example). There are several notary specialist firms in Phnom Penh, but law firms and some embassies also offer their notary services for a fee. These fees can range from $50 to $100 per A4 page.

The applicant may also require immunizations before a visa can be issued. Applicant must contact the physicians directly to arrange an appointment.

A Consular officer can make a decision on a visa application only after reviewing the formal application and interviewing the applicant. There is no guarantee that you will receive a visa. Do not sell your house, car or property, resign from your job or make non-refundable flight or other travel arrangements until you have received your immigrant visa.

Sometimes a consular officer is unable to make a decision on a visa application because he/she needs to review additional documents or the case requires further administrative processing. When additional documents are requested, the consular officer will give you a refusal letter that asks you to submit additional documents. The letter will include instructions on how to send those documents to the embassy. Administrative processing takes additional time after the interview. Most administrative processing is resolved within 60 days. However, the timing varies based on the circumstances of each case. Before inquiring about the status of administrative processing, please wait at least 60 days after your interview.
