Applicants residing overseas will be required to mail a hardcopy of your fingerprint impressions taken at an authorised institution in your country of residence (such as police stations or embassies), and enclose it with a copy of the eCOC Acknowledgement Slip, generated at the end of your online application.
The COC will be mailed to your posting address indicated in the online application form, once we receive and verify your fingerprint impression and eCOC Acknowledgement Slip.
