Who Might Need a China Police Clearance?

Many U.S. as well as some other foreign visa types require that the applicant submit a police clearance from any country in which they have resided for six months or more. A U.S. consular officer may also require a police clearance from any country where an applicant has been arrested or from which the consular officer believes an arrest has taken place even if the period of residence in the country was less than six months.

Who Can Get a China Police Clearance?

A China police clearance is only available to foreigners who held a residence permit during their stay in China. Residence permits are typically issued for the Z worker, X1 student and J1 journalist visas. A China police clearance is not available for time periods when someone stayed in China on a tourist, business or other non-resident visa type.

What is the Procedure to Obtain a China Police Clearance?

In order to obtain a China police clearance, an applicant must apply to the local Public Security Bureau (“PSB”) station where they resided. The Chinese record keeping system is wonderfully diffuse. If you have lived in more than one city, you may require multiple clearances. Some cities have general instructions on their websites while others do not. Procedures may vary by city and by substation. The applicant may go in person or send someone on their behalf with a properly executed power of attorney.

What Documents are Required?

Documentary requirements typically include the following:

  • Passport (If you have already got a new passport, we also need it.)

    • Photo page.

    • All Chinese residence permit / Chinese visa pages.

    • All Chinese entry/exit stamp pages.

  • Graduation Certificate(When applicant had student visa in Shanghai)

  • Employment Permit or Expert Certificate (When applicant had working visa in Shanghai)

  • Employment contract

  • Registration Form Of Temporary Residence

    From Aug 2015, Registration Form of Temporary Residence has new name "Accommodation Registration Form" in Beijing.

  • Letter of Authorization (notarized)

What if a China Police Clearance is Unobtainable?

If a China police clearance is unavailable, the consular officer may request alternative documentation which demonstrates that the visa applicant is of good character and has no criminal record in China. This evidence may include employment records, character letters from people who knew you well and evidence of involvement with religious organizations while you resided in China.

The consular officer may waive the requirement where obtaining the clearance would create a severe hardship on the visa applicant. The standard for a hardship waiver is quite high. The applicant must demonstrate that obtaining the record would cause severe hardship greater than mere delay, inconvenience or expense. An example might include an ongoing war in the former country of residence. The consular officer may also waive the requirement where the applicant clearly shows that in spite of good faith efforts made to obtain the police clearance it remains unavailable.
