nanonye: Hello guys. Please I need information on how to get my Nigerian Police Certificate which i want to attach to my application. What does it cost and how long does it take to process.
I heard its done in Lagos but is it also done in Abuja or PH? Is it possible to get it without going to Lagos?

Tranquill:

Not sure of PH but certainly at the police headquater in Abuja. If the requirements are same as in Lagos, all you need is passport photos. Cant remember how many exactly but go with 2. You can not do it by proxy as they will need your finger print.

IMPORTANT- I understand you shouldnt pay more than 5k. I spent up to 16k in Lagos but felt really foolish when I realised I was used. They will 1st evaluate how naive you are about the whole thing then try to get as much money from you as possible. So bear in mind that you dont spend more than 5k. Good luck.

nanonye: Thanks a lot for the information. Please can the entire process be concluded in one day?

pickabeau1: In my opinion you do not need to send a pcc now as it is valid for 6 months..

You may need to still obtain another pcc upon request exceptyou are sure u wwill be thru by 6 mths time

Send in ur application quickly

debbiejosh: @solomonwise and all who have got a PER, what does CIC mean by self-addressed labels, please explain, I'm confused

Tranquill:

It is simply a paper that you write your own address on so that should there be any need to send a paper mail to you, they just paste it on an evelope and then put it in the post so that it goes to the address that you wrote down by urself. In this case any mistake in the mailing address will purely be ur own fault. I dont know if in Nigeria you can get these plain address stickers but alternatively, type you mailing address on a plain white sheet and then cut the sheet into size that can be 'gummed' to an envelope.

debbiejosh:
Thank u tranquill, is it more preferable its typed, or should it be hand written

nanonye: Stil on the Self Addressed Envelope, the Checklist says we should include one in English/French and one in the country's official language. Guys am i right to say that i should include 2 addresses in English since English is our Lingua Franca?

nanonye: Thanks a lot Pickabeau. I await my IELTS result and once its out, i'l send in my application for NOC 2263.

nanonye: Hello guys with PER's. Please with regards to the Proof of Funds document, can it just be a letter from the bank stating what my bank balance is or must it be a full bank statement over a certain period? I know the Checklist shows it can be a letter from the bank but just want to know if any of our people with OER's used letters. Thanks.
