How to get a police certificate - Mauritius
If you need to give your fingerprints for a police certificate, this isn’t the same as giving your biometrics (fingerprints and photo) for an application.
Do I need to provide a police certificate when applying for permanent residence?
Yes.
How and where do I obtain one?
If you are a citizen of Mauritius, you must provide the original and a photocopy of:
