NMC - Police Clearance

World Registration

Published

Was somebody who already had the decision letter asked to submit a police clearance from countries where you worked at the age of 18?

I just finished my ONP, but a friend who worked before in Saudi Arabia who also had her ONP told me the NMC is requiring her to submit police clearnce from Saudi.

This was not required before the changes, it was not indicated on my pack 2 to submit a police clearance.

This is another anxiety for me if they will ask one. I thougt once u have the decision letter, u have already escaped from the agony of submitting documents. Now this thing again?

anyone experienced the same?

As per page 18 of the instruction booklet if trained outside of the EU you must provide police clearance for countries lived in since age 18

yes it is, but this was not indicated before I filled up my pack 2. Can i sue NMC for making us so stressful about this? this is not funny anymore.. I have never seen anything about submitting police clearance before, anyone who has had decisions already experiencing the same?

update: they did not ask for police clearance, I called them yesterday and been told that final pack will arrive in 7 days, I paid 133 GBP for my initial registration through nmc online payment, tip: to check the status of your application after onp is to check via nmc online payment and see if you are required to pay for your initial registration. I will send my self declaration via next day delivery once received. I'll update again soon..

I envy you. In order to get a Saudi Police clearance for ex-Saudi nurse, you need to get a finger print card from NBI or PNP. The problem is that they ask too many requirements. After that, you need to ask a representative based in KSA to do it for you. I don't know how long the process may take. I need the said clearance before January. It's really frustrating. Any advice?

the best thing you could do is to have a representative from saudi arabia to process it for you, my friend told me that it is quick as long as you have all the required documents. here is a link that may help you..

Thanks. I also saw those links. I am just wondering if anyone has a first-hand experience so I'll know what to expect.

Cheers!

Hello oliver!

Its been a while since I last opened allnurses, and i also sent you a pm yesterday. At last, my pack 2 was sent by NMC last October 24. Maybe yours is coming soon as well.

How was the processing of your police clearance from KSA going?

We just really have to keep praying that everything goes well.
