i totally share your sentiments.
However, this case is different.
If you check the Canada thread, he is the one that does it especially if you live outside Lagos state.
Police clearance only comes from Lagos and Abuja.
If u live outside lagos and consider transportation to lagos, hotel bills and all.. you could decide to go for non appearance as it saves cost.
The last poster said he can't come from UK to Nigeria and as such I was giving him an option for non-appearance because it works. I was wondering how this poster will come all the way to Nigeria for PCC, at least this person can get it done for him.. I also told him what d real cost is and what not to exceed.

I totally understand the issue here but this is my problem.. why should Nigerians have to contact a govt official privately to go job done?

Why can't this be done openly for everyone that needs such service? The more we keep referring people to this official privately the more he will abandon his official responsibilities for side deals.

By law is 6months but some schools only process & issue CAS 3months before resumption. You need to check with your University

Thank you.

Dharmzy370:

Hello People, Please, my wife and daughter applied last Friday 12th March standard visa, but a mail came in few minutes ago that my daughter's travel document is ready for collection. Please what is the implication of this. Because i think stand is 15 working days.

Thanks guys, they have been granted the visa 5 and 6 days which is 3 and 4 working days for Standard.

Destiny20five:


No you are not doing anything wrong. Paga no longer works for IHS and visa payment.
Alternatively you can open a virtual dollar card through barter and fund it by sourcing for dollars from aboki or through friends and families abroad.
Or better still, if you have someone abroad then tell the person to help you make the payment directly.

Ok Thanks

Hello... my friend wants to apply for his dependents, but he is in a shared accommodation, he has a room in a flat. He is asking if he can use his present address to apply for his dependants. Do the Uk gov ask for lease agreement ?because his lease agreement states that it’s a room in a shared accommodation. Will he need to upload his tenancy agreement, or he has to get a bigger place before his dependants can apply? He wants to get a bigger place when his dependants ( wife &son) is about to arrive but not right now.

LagosismyHome:


If he knows someone within the police , they can process it remotely while he sends his finger print remotely ...... but u know naija. Its done easily by man know man

Thanks

Futureukstudent:
hello hosey, I sent you a mail please acknowledge

Ok. Acknowledged.

He can get it from UK @ £110.He needs to apply from this page, make payment into their Nigeria bank account. But they only collect the pounds equivalent at black market rate and not Oanda rate. I did more than 2 CRB and it arrived less than 1week. It will be deliver at ur UK home address. He just needs to download d form, find stamp pad and thumb print, scan the completed form,attach is photograph, proof of payment and copy of his passport.

Hi. I didn't get your info as it was deleted.

I think yours is faster and cheaper. It will be easier as UK is still in lockdown and Nigeria embassy is closed.

Kindly send to my email. I just sent you a DM.

Also @giselle237, Cyberknight, justwise, Phenmeson or anyone.

We just checked online that the Nigeria Police clarance expires for just 3 months.

Although, my freind has been in the UK for 7 years, will it be valid as employment starts in four months time?

Or doez the expiry not apply in this cass as he has been in the UK for long?

They said is valid for 3months but technically I know people who used it after 3months. If your friend is starting the job 4months time, no point of rushing to apply for the Police clearance except you are doing it from 9ja where it cost you less than 10k. If your friend is applying from UK, on the site I posted, let him do it 3 weeks before his job commence. The Police certificate is authentic from 9ja Police HQ. It's acceptable by UK SIA, oversea jobs/embassy.
Have done more than 3 applications from them and have no issue with it except the £110 they charge @ Black market rate. Is more convenient.

Please what does this mail means?

Hello everyone.

Please I applied to Teeside University on the 17th of March and I was offered admission today on the 20th of March.

I applied for msc in international management.

Please is there any one here that is currently in Teeside University that can share with me how good Teeside University is in terms of how dedicated they are in impacting knowledge and seeing student through their masters program as I heard some schools are just after the money they get from international student.

I don't think anyone would trouble you at POE however if it gives you peace of mind then go with a consent letter

I see where you are coming from, but the point is that the CRB process, to the best of my knowledge at the time, works that way.
The first time I got one, I was still in Nigeria. I went down to Ikoyi myself, and when I got there, I asked them what to do and I was directed to an office where I met one chap (not the guy who was extensively advertised on the Canada thread) who took my fingerprints and a copy of my passport and gave me the form to fill. He then told me a price (6k or so, can't remember), told me it would take about an hour, and then we went through the process, they issued me the certificate.

So when I was outside Nigeria and I needed another one, I simply contacted him again, and he told me to download the form online, get a stamp pad and place my fingerprints on it and send a photo to print out along with a copy of my passport. I did that, and scanned it to my cousin, who printed out the form and photo and took it there and the PCC was issued.

Given that the process I followed from the UK was the same process I followed when I was in Nigeria, I have to say that there's no "encouragement or fostering of corruption there", because it was exactly the same thing. I didn't pay anything to facilitate or queue-jump the day I went to Ikoyi myself, I went there early in the morning and was the only person in their semi-furnished office for the whole hour or so I waited. I am well aware that like many such processes in Nigeria out of the 6k I paid the first time and the 7.5k I paid the second time, probably less than half of it went into government coffers, but that's the way that particular system has been programmed to operate and I don't see how that can be circumvented unless you don't want the PCC.

To the best of my knowledge, there is (or was 2 years ago) no online PCC portal, no Remita or official paypoint where you go and pay only maybe 2k or so and get an official receipt then go and demand issuance of your PCC from the police at that price, no such thing. It's totally different from the passport process for example, we all know how that works, I was impressed when I read here that you can go online and pay the official fee and then go and demand "capturing" and issuance of your passport as opposed to just paying an amount way above the official fee to get one ASAP with as little hassle as possible which has become normalised. We all know the difference between the two and the second process is to be discouraged.

If I needed another, I would follow the previous process I went through again, which is definitely official because it's the exact same process I would follow if I were in Nigeria and had gone to their offices myself and your presence is not needed for a criminal records check. I see it as being akin to having another passport issued for countries who do the passport issuance process by mail for their citizens residing abroad.

A previous poster mentioned something about a 100 quid fee for Nigerians abroad to get this done. I didn't know about this before, but that's a shitload of money and I see that fee as simply being the usual extortion the government applies to citizens abroad with the mindset that they have money to pay, and do not see anything wrong with saving myself money by following yet another official process.

hosey:

A freind currently in the he UK just got a job in the health sector and they are asking for Criminal history in Nigeria which can be proofed with police clearance.

How can he obtain the form for police criminal record for CRB? Does he need to come to Nigeria?

Thanks.

I see someone has posted the CRB website and no he doesn't need to come to Nigeria.
