How to get a PNG Police Clearance Certificate

Employers require amongst other documents, a PNG police clearance certificate from job seekers.
Other organisations also require a Police Clearance Certificate as well. A Police Clearance Certificate does just that, clears an individual, and assures potential employers that the applicant has no criminal record, nor is he or she a person of interest.
A Police Clearance Certificate is issued by the National Criminal Records Office of the Crimes Division of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary. A Police Clearance Certificate when issued to individuals is valid for a period of one year only from the date of issue.
Officer in Charge (OIC) of the National Criminal Records Office (NCRO) Acting Chief Inspector Kasa Wumber said there are six main types of Police Clearance reports done by his office. This includes five Police Character Checks and Police Crime Report.

The character checks include; Public Motor Vehicle (PMV) character check, Papua New Guinea police character check, firearms character check, Expatriates in Papua New Guinea and Expatriates overseas character check.
The Police Clearance Certificate is issued by the NCRO currently located at the National Forensic Centre, Varahe Road Gordons in Port Moresby. No police stations or another office can issue a Police Clearance Certificate.
The only authorised signature on the certificate must be that of the OIC National Criminal Records Office, by delegation on behalf of the Commissioner of Police. In the absence of the OIC the second officer in charge (2IC) will sign on his behalf. Any other signature on a Police Clearance Certificate is not to be accepted.
