How to get the fingerprints form:

You have to go to any Police station in your area and you have to request for the fingerprint. Then, you have to send it to the Department of State for legalization.

After the Department’s legalization, please send the document to the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Washington DC for legalization along with a money order of USD$30.00 payable to the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates and a prepaid return envelope.

Legalization Steps:

• Notarized by the notary public (County)
• Authenticated by the Secretary of State (State, Province)
• Authenticated by the State Department Authentication Division in Washington D.C. (Tel: 202-647-5002)
• Please provide 1 extra copy of each original document you send. We only legalize original documents
• Please make sure that your name and address appear on both the sender and the recipient fields of the prepaid airway bill (not regular mail).

1. A fingerprint form legalized by the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Washington DC
2. A copy of your previous residence permit in the United Arab Emirates and a copy of your recent passport
3. 2 colored passport size photographs

Then, you have to send all the required documents mentioned above to the Ministry of Interior (Police Department) in Dubai.

The address is:

Fee in Dubai = Bank draft of USD $35

(made out to DUBAI POLICE GENERAL H.Q. – towards the Good Conduct Certificate fee)

Before submitting the above mentioned documents to the Police Department, you have to contact them to inform you about the fees (ex: money order should be made payable to ….) and the courier company, etc….

We suggest that you send the documents to a friend and your friend can obtain the certificate from the Police Department on your behalf so the processing time will be faster than sending it directly by courier to the Police Department.

The UAE Embassy’s address:

3522 International Court, NW, Suite 400
