How to obtain a police certificate

Bosnia-Herzegovina

Do I need to provide a police certificate when applying for permanent residence?
Yes.

Please note that a court certificate is not accepted.

How and where do I obtain one?

If you live in Bosnia-Herzegovina:
You should apply for an Uvjerenje o nekaznjavanju (Certificate of No Conviction) at the police station representing your place of residence or birth, at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

You should submit the application form and present:

• the original or a copy of your identity card (licna karta) and
• your birth certificate (issued within the last six months).

Application forms can be obtained at police stations.

If you live outside Bosnia-Herzegovina:
You should apply in person at the Bosnian embassy or consulate or authorize a representative in Bosnia-Herzegovina to apply on your behalf.
