Bank just refused to accept my passport?

[AmigoSecret]

Hi,

I provided the bank with all the documents and requested documents, and after aprox 4 days they came back to my agent and told me they request a " police clearance certificate " do you know what this is?

I told them that I won't be able to get that and they declined my application until I'm able to get it.

This was an offshore bank in Belize!

All banks use 'World Check' and you will not be able to open an account with another bank if you don't provide the bank with a police clearance certificate.

This is pretty much standard once you are in this category. If you have nothing to hide it should not be a problem or?

 

[AmigoSecret]

Thanks for fast reply.. it is a problem because I don't know what this police clearance certificate is and where I can get that? Do you know where I can buy it. From a lawyer or?

 

[JohnLocke]

Well, as the phrase say "POLICE clearance certificate" where do you think then you should get it Ask your local police station for advise and get this certificate through to the bank so they will open the account for you without any problems.

 

[AmigoSecret]

Thanks Admin you are very helpful I have been Googling it Police certificate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is that what we speak about please?

 

[JohnLocke]

Yes this is exactly what we discuss here and what the bank in Belize is asking you for. Get from your local Police station and all is fine. Usually it's not a problem at all.

May I ask, have you provided them with fake documents and that's your real problem?

 

[AmigoSecret]

What do you mean by fake documents? I provided them with a passport copy and utility bill as they requested plus all the other stuff they wanted! The agent provided them with the incorporation documents of the Belize company.

 

[JohnLocke]

okay, then ask the Police for help to get that certificate.. I was just curious to hear if you have tried to make any funny games with them

 

[AmigoSecret]

No No - no fun here.. that was all my true documents.

A police clearance certificate is a certificate about your police report. That means it'll contain you are free from any criminal activity or not. It's very easy to get. Juat go to your police station, ask them for a such report, they will isue you a police clearance certificate.

 

[AmigoSecret]

Thank you Jack Dui I will have to walk to the police station tomorrow and see if I can get it.

I like your post OP and I don't trust you 1 second. if you have provide real documents to the bank they would not have asked you for this certificate. And if so that I'm wrong why don't you just walk to the local police station get that document, scan it, and get it through to the bank right away!

 

[JohnLocke]

It can very well be that his name just match a similar name and that's why the bank is asking for it. Time will show what the outcome is if OP will post it here.

Just go to your nearest police branch and request a police clearance. Normally it is for another verification that you are an abiding citizen. If you have done nothing wrong, you won't be scared to get a clearance since you can give them an argument if they don't want to issue a police clearance for your personal use.

Kindly share your experience once you are done. If you live in India, you would have had the certificate after you bribed few bills.

 

[erzascarlet]

Anyway Have you done with the application issue OP? I would like to hear your experience if you already done it.
