Why is a Police Clearance Report Important?
A police clearance report is essential for verifying a person’s criminal history. This document is required for those applying for visas, jobs, or other legal purposes that necessitate personal background checks. The report provides assurance to employers, government agencies, and foreign embassies that the individual has no criminal record or, if they do, discloses the nature of any criminal offences.
