What Is a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)?
A police clearance certificate, also known as a ‘good conduct certificate’, ‘criminal clearance certificate’, or ‘certificate of no criminal record’, is an official government document confirming that the holder has no criminal record within a specific country or jurisdiction.
In the UAE, the PCC is issued by:
- The Ministry of Interior (MOI): for residents and citizens across all emirates.
- Dubai Police: specifically for individuals who lived or worked in Dubai.
- Abu Dhabi Police / Sharjah Police: for emirate-specific applications.
The certificate is typically issued in Arabic and English. It includes the applicant’s full name, passport details, residency information, and an official confirmation of their criminal status during their period of residence.
Note: The UAE PCC is valid for 30 days from the date of issuance for general purposes, though some countries have their own validity requirements.
Why Do You Need Your Police Clearance Certificate Translation?
Even though the UAE issues PCCs in both Arabic and English, a certified translation may still be required in several situations:
- Your destination country requires the document in its official language.
- A foreign employer or institution requests a translated and certified copy.
- The original PCC was issued in another language (e.g., Arabic only) and needs to be in English for international use.
- An embassy or consulate requires the document in a specific format with a certified translator’s signature and stamp.
- You are submitting the PCC as part of a visa, immigration, or citizenship application where an MOJ-certified translation is a mandatory requirement.
Simply put, an uncertified or informally translated PCC will be rejected by most official bodies. Only a certified translation carries the legal weight needed for formal acceptance.

Who Can Provide Certified PCC Translation?
Not everyone is qualified to translate a Police Clearance Certificate for official use. In the UAE, only a translator licensed by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) can produce a legally recognised certified translation.
Here is what to look for when choosing a PCC translation provider:
- MOJ-approved and licensed translator.
- Official stamp and signature on the translated document.
- Experience with legal and government documents specifically.
- Acceptance track record with UAE courts, embassies, and government entities.
- Confidentiality protocols for handling sensitive personal data.
Avoid freelancers or unaccredited providers; even if their translation is linguistically accurate, it will not be legally accepted without MOJ certification. Crown Translation meets every one of these requirements.
