Police Check for Time Volunteering in Cambodia
Hi all,
Sorry if this has already been posted about but I can’t seem to find any info anywhere.
I’ve been volunteering as a teacher in a school for 2 months now and am going to be doing teacher training when I return to the UK. The UK school have requested a police check for my time in Cambodia as part of their DBS requirement, but I am wondering if it is possible to get the residence certificate to get the police check as I haven’t got a rental agreement. As part of the volunteering I stay at the school for free, so there is nothing formal in place. The UK school have suggested a letter from the Cambodian school giving details of where I’ve been staying, but I’m wondering if that will work/be enough? Any advice/suggestions welcome.
Cheers

Re: Police Check for Time Volunteering in Cambodia
Have the school assist you in obtaining the Certificate of Residence from the local Sangkat, simple.
Re: Police Check for Time Volunteering in Cambodia
I'm surprised they're asking you for a police check for such a short period spent in Cambodia...it's normally only requested for any country that you have resided in for 6+ months.
Re: Police Check for Time Volunteering in Cambodia
In theory, it's simple. However, the Certificate of Resisnence for the ministry of Justice needs to have a certain format, otherwise the MoJ won't process. Make sure the Sangkat knows the format, if not let the contact the MoJ.
Re: Police Check for Time Volunteering in Cambodia
Yea, you can get a sample format from the MoJ, or search this forum as I have posted a sample on other threads about Cambodian Police Checks.

How to obtain a police clearance report from CambodiaPSD-Kiwi wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2019 5:15 pmYea, you can get a sample format from the MoJ, or search this forum as I have posted a sample on other threads about Cambodian Police Checks.
The Embassy is unable to assist citizens in obtaining a police clearance certificate from Cambodian authorities.
Police Certificate
To obtain a report, foreigners should go to the Criminal Office at the Ministry of Justice to request a Police Certificate. There are two different fees:
• 250,000 Riels (approximately USD62.5) for regular service which takes around 20 days, or
• 500,000 Riels (approximately USD125.00) for expedited service which takes around 12 days.
Applicants should have the following documents:
• A completed application form. This form can be obtained at the Criminal Office;
• One photograph (size 4cm x 6cm);
• A bio-information form;
• A copy of the biographical page of the passport;
• Copies of the first and last Cambodian visas showing dates of arrival.
• A Residence Certification Letter * from the commune (sangkat) office where the applicant resides and/or resided whilst in Cambodia.
Applicants can authorise someone to apply for the Police Certificate for him/her. The applicant should complete an authorization form (the sample of the form is available at Criminal Office at Ministry of Justice), who can submit the completed forms at the Criminal Office. However, if the applicant is in Cambodia, they will be required to submit the form for themselves.
Residence Certification Letter*
A Residence Certification Letter is required when applying for a Police Certificate. To obtain this document, foreigners should go to the local commune (sangkat) office where the applicant resides/ resided in Cambodia to request the letter. There is a no-standard administrative fee for the provision of this letter.
Applicants should bring the following documents:
• If he/she is Cambodian: ID card, family book/ residence book, and house rental agreement (if he/ she did not own a house).
• If he/she is a foreigner: Passport, house rental agreement, job letter and other related documents to support the claim of residence.
Note:
The information in the residence certificate letter includes:
1. name of resident
2. house address
3. how long/length of stay that the resident stayed/ has stayed at that address.
The applicant may authorize someone living in Cambodia to apply for this letter for them. The applicant will need to provide an authorization letter for that person. However acceptance of this letter will be dependent on the commune (sangkat) office. There is no national standard for this type of work.
To ease the process, foreigners are advised to request a Residence Certification Letter from their local commune (sangkat) office prior to leaving their Cambodian place of residence.

Re: Police Check for Time Volunteering in Cambodia
Sorry General, incomplete info,
Again, make sure you get the correct format for your 'Certificate of Residency' or you'll be wasting time and money. I went through the process myself last November and it was a pain in the @ss because my local Sangkat had zero knowledge. Here's a great contact though: 012-583613. Let your Sangkat contact her in case they don't know.
That won't do. Info about your parents is obligatory too, name of both, place of birth, day of birth, and profession if I recall correctly.General Mackevili wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2019 5:30 pmThe information in the residence certificate letter includes:
