Abstract generation in progress

To align with last year’s “Policy Address” proposal for “continuously enhancing digital applications,” the issuance service for the “Certificate of No Criminal Conviction,” commonly known as the “Good Citizen Certificate,” will be further optimized starting tomorrow. Eligible applicants will be able to complete the application process without submitting fingerprints.

Currently, all applicants can submit their applications and pay the application fee through the online service platform of the Police Force, make appointments to take fingerprints at the Certificate of No Criminal Conviction office or nine designated police stations, and check the status of their applications.

Starting tomorrow, applicants who meet the two specified conditions will not need to submit fingerprints. These conditions include submitting the application through the Police Force’s online service platform using a “Smart Convenience” account, and the application purpose is not related to matters involving children or mentally incapacitated individuals, such as adopting a child. However, in special circumstances, applicants who meet the specified conditions may still be required to submit fingerprints at the relevant location.

After the new measures are implemented, the processing time for eligible specified applications will be reduced from 28 days to 15 days.
