Police Conduct Certificate
Is it mandatory to submit a police conduct certificate?
Yes, all applicants aged 18 and over at the time of application submission must provide Residency Malta Agency with an original police conduct certificate as issued by the competent national/federal authorities in the country of origin. In instances where countries issue such certificates for individuals below the age of 18, and such minors are part of the application, these certificates are also to be submitted to the Agency.
Police certificates must be original documents, less than 6 months old upon submission of application, and certified by the national/federal police system of the relevant country. The police conduct should be apostilled or legalised. Police certificates do not require a further apostille/legislation if submitted from the following jurisdictions: Australia, New Zealand, USA, UK, and Canada. Any police conduct certificates which are not in the English language should be translated accordingly.
In certain countries, police authorities will only send the certificate directly to other foreign institutions requesting it. In such cases, the certificate should be sent to the following email or physical addresses:
