Important Information

After the receipt of an application for CRC, the applicant’s details are sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan. The Ministry then forwards the details on to the relevant authorities to carry out the checks. When the Ministry receives the results of the checks, they forward the results to the consulate section in London and the applicant is then issued with a letter confirming the results of the CRC.

Please download the CRC application form and fill in before you arrive at the Consulate Section. It is also the applicant’s responsibility to inform the Embassy officials if a CRC has been previously requested. Failure to do so may result in a denial of the petition.
