Copy of ID, Passport or Birth Certificate
NAD 100.00 application fee
An application can be made at the nearest Police Station in your area.
The Certificate must be collected by the applicant at the station where the application was made.
Fingerprints are taken and sent to the Namibian Police Criminal Record Bureau (N.P.C.R.B) where they are processed and a certificate is issued and returned to the relevant station.
Fingerprint evidence is crucial in criminal investigations as fingerprints are unique and unchanging.
Finger marks can link crimes or place a suspect at a crime scene.

Fingerprinting also helps identify victims after disasters like cyclones or bombings.
The usual waiting period for a certificate is about two (2) weeks due to verification processes.
Enquiries after one (1) week can be made at the police station where the application was submitted, not directly at N.P.C.R.B.
For expedited processing, include an official letter from the institution requiring the certificate explaining the urgency.
"Be a law-abiding citizen, report all criminal activities to the Police"
