Sri Lanka Police have temporarily suspended the online submission of applications for Police Clearance Certificates due to essential maintenance work on the Police Clearance computer system.
The Police Media Division said that until the online system is restored, applicants can submit their applications through the nearest police station.
Applicants should visit the official Sri Lanka Police website and access the “Clearance Certificate” section under “Digital Services” to download the relevant application form.
The completed application form, along with the applicant’s National Identity Card (NIC), passport and birth certificate, must be submitted to the nearest police station.
If the name on the NIC differs from that on the passport and the certificate is required under the passport name, an affidavit must also be submitted.
Sri Lankan citizens residing overseas may authorize a close relative to submit the required documents to the relevant police station on their behalf.
A police officer will assist applicants in entering the required information into the Police Clearance Certificate system. Applicants have been advised to carefully check all details before signing the application, as police station officers will not be able to make amendments after the information has been entered into the system.
An application fee of Rs. 5,000 will be charged, with an official payment receipt issued by the relevant police station.
The Police Media Division also clarified that applicants are no longer required to submit applications through the previously introduced email address. Those who have already applied through that email address must submit a fresh application through their nearest police station.
Foreign nationals seeking Police Clearance Certificates can submit their applications through the Sri Lankan Embassy in their respective countries.
Police said the online application facility will be restored once maintenance of the Police Clearance computer system is completed.
