The Police Clearance Certificate, formerly referred to as Certificate of Good Conduct, will from next week be processed within a day from the initial 14 days following an upgrade of the system.

The system has been upgraded from the current Automated Palm and Fingerprint Identification System (APFIS) to Multi-Biometric Identification System (MBIS), according to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

“Starting Monday, July 20, 2026, we roll out the Multi-Biometric Identification System (MBIS), a game-changing platform built to fast-track processing and deliver faster, smarter service,” the DCI said.
