How to obtain a police certificate - Seychelles

Do I need to provide a police certificate when applying for permanent residence?
Yes. However, certificates are unavailable to foreign residents or former residents who have lived in Seychelles for less than one year.

You should complete an Application for Character Certificate from the Commissioner of Police and send it to:
