No Criminal Record Certification - SHENZHEN

This guide outlines the process for foreign nationals to obtain a Certificate of No Criminal Record during their residence in Shenzhen, China. This certificate, known as a police clearance in other countries, follows the regulations set forth by the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau and is essential for various purposes such as immigration and employment.

Shenzhen has been at the forefront in standardizing the requirements for foreign nationals' applications for No Criminal Record Certificates. The Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau established the No Criminal Record Certificate Office on March 13, 2014, which later became part of the Shenzhen Municipal Administrative Service Center in 2018. As of July 10, 2023, the application acceptance venue has been relocated to the Exit-Entry Administration of Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau, while the approval process remains under the No Criminal Record Certificate Office.
