Hey plz share nober to talk with ur officer
This is the continuation of my question about my problem about police clearance. Can I scan the documents?
I am a Malaysian not a citizen of Singapore but used to work n Singapore in the 1987 and reside in Singapore since 1994 onwards. Now I try to seek employment in Australia which the prospective employers need the certificate of clearance(COC) from the Singapore Police Force. Currently I am in Kuala Lumpur. Can I obtain my COC by post while I am in K.L.?
