How to get a criminal record in KL?

TS2011

Dear all,
I need to obtain a Criminal Record certificate to submit it to an Embassy. I checked with a Police Station in my area but it seems they are not familiar with it. It may have a different name. In some countries it is called Police Report and in another is a Criminal Report.
Any advice pls... I am living in Ampang Point surroundings.. Thanks in advance..

Letter of Good Conduct from your relevant government agency

◾The police authority of the applicants home country; or
◾The Embassy of the applicants home country based in Malaysia, provided that the LGC issued by the Embassy has made a reference to the respective police authority and the LGC must be attested by the Embassy.

This is from the MM2H website - could you reuse?

TS2011

Tks Gravitas. However I need to obtain criminal record or LGC from each country I lived in and not from my country only.

Gravitas

That's a monumental task.

My old boss got one. You should go to a large police station - a small one or a traffic one will look blankly at you!

Unfortunately your question is very unclear. Firstly, what nationality are you? If you are Malaysian and wish to obtain a police record or certificate of good character you should approach your local police station and they would guide you on the correct procedure. If you are a non Malaysian national and you need a visa for a foreign embassy you must request that certificate from your own country from the police authorities there.

A police report goes by a variety of names depending on which country you are talking about. However it is required to ensure that you have not been guilty of a crime. This makes sense as most sane countries have enough criminals of their own and do not wish to import more. I am excepting, of course, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland who welcome criminals from other countries within the EU as there is no requirement for a police report. I did however mention sane countries.

Thank you so much for this!! Quick question, there is no any other faster way to do this, example I go to the HQ of ministry of foreign affairs in Kuala Lumpur to get this done? =)

Gravitas

Check with KL, but Ramadan starts 17th. Bit chaotic it seems here in KL though

Singapore might be quicker it seems - also web info is getting very out of date.

But the CGC is a major background check on a person.

Explorerfrommalaysia

Oh yeah that is true Ramadan soon! Ok will apply online and let's see. I hope the employer can wait. Appreciate the info :)

This looks like the latest info

ExplorerfromMalaysia,

Hope you settled down by now. I m in exactly situation as you, based in sg born in KL. How did you manage to get the criminal record and how long is the whole process :). Cheers

Explorerfrommalaysia

Hello there,

Yeah all settled by now, enjoying Beijing so far! I applied for the certificate of good conduct through kementerian luar negeri website. It took less than a week for them to process which was pretty efficient though. You can either collect from the local Malaysian embassy or perhaps from KLN office in Putrajaya. The entire process was long but worth it as I am enjoying the new place here so far but missing Singapore and Malaysia though.

Great you will be enjoying the winter soon. 1 more inquiry, once you received the record from kln, do you translate it to Chinese and  go to the Chinese embassy in KL to have the document notarize?

Good sharing :)

Explorerfrommalaysia

Hey there. Nah the winter here is crazy and I can started feeling how cold it is now, not even winter...
The document was in English, I didn't translate that into Chinese because my employer (American company) they do accept English version, you might need to check with your future employer, if you are applying for a job here, if they do accept the version in English or Mandarin only. I hope this helps. Let me know of you have further questions about relocation to China. Good luck!

batilcl

Great !!! if everything goes well, I will be having hairy crab in SH by Dec. :)

batilcl

OK, I applied on 30th Oct and ready for collection on 5th Nov - 4 working days !!! efficient :)

Now I have to do translation and notarized by China embassy.

Hi I need to get no evidence of criminal record from Malaysia to apply for work permit in China, is the certificate of good conduct and  no evidence of criminal record are same ? I am in Shah Alam, is there any one processed the above ? kindly provide the guidance.

batilcl

It is Certificate of Good Conduct, both are same.

Submit it online here.
https://ekonsular.kln.gov.my/ekonsular_ … in_skb.php

This is accepted for China work permit, you may need to get it notarized from China Embassy in KL

Dhakshna

Hi thanks for the reply, what is the processing time for this ? this is a online application right ?

batilcl

the time varies, if u scroll up this thread some takes 3 weeks. It took me less than 5 working days. I suggest u apply asap

Dhakshna

Hi, once again thank you, I just applied and got the receipt of acknowledgement, I need to go to
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Malaysia
Consular Division
Wisma Putra
No. 1, Jalan Wisma Putra
62602 Putrajaya.
Tel.: 03-8887 4000
Faks: 03-8887 2923
rigt?

batilcl

Check the status online everyday, go to Putrajaya to collect or u can print it out and get someone else for collection.

Next, check with your agent if they require a translated and notarized copy.

You need to go to a Session Court to translate and come back to Ministry of Foreign Affairs to verified true copy.

Then you have to get it notarized here

Dhakshna

They need  a english version only, but i will confirm on notarization part , after apply online do we have to wait for the process to complete or we have to go directly to the ministry of foreign affairs in wisma with RM20 DD? that is the confusion for me .

batilcl

Check everyday for the status to turn 'ready for collection". Once u see that notice, go straight to Putrajaya and pay RM20 cash.

Dhakshna

Ok , noted , thank you so much, will update on progress  :)

Dhakshna

Hi, I just got an offer to work in Shanghai and am preparing documents for working permit application. I applied for the Letter of Good Conduct on the KLN website and it doesn't provide an option as to where I wish to collect the certificate once it is ready. I was wondering whether I can just go to the nearest Malaysian Embassy for collection (Hong Kong in my case) or I can only collect it at Putrajaya?

Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Amanda
