ESTONIA

Extracts from the Punishment Register are issued by the Estonian Police Board on behalf of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Extracts will be in Estonian if a criminal offence is on record, but in English if the individual is not registered in the Punishment Register. Translations from Estonian, and the original certificate in Estonian, can be verified by the Ministry of Internal Affairs on request if the applicant states that the information is required for an employer or regulatory body abroad.

Applicants within Estonia can request their personal extract from the Punishment Register by going in person to the Estonian Police Board, presenting their ID document, and filling in the application form. For a foreign citizen the date and place of birth and the name and type of the identity document should be used instead of the personal identification code.

Applications may also be sent by post, adding a signed copy of the passport. Application forms may be obtained from the Police Board web page at www.pol.ee. The application form and information about opening hours for in-person visits are all available at the web site which is in Estonian.

If applying from within Malaysia:

Individuals should make their requests to the Central Criminal Registry within the Royal Malaysian Police quoting their identity card number and detailing the purpose of the request.

Central Criminal Registry Malaysia & Singapore Bukit Aman PO Box 10248 50708 Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

Fingerprints will be required if a criminal record certificate is requested or the applicant requires written confirmation that they do not have a criminal record.

If applying from the UK:

Applications for a Letter of Good Conduct can be requested from the High Commission of Malaysia. The application form requires 2 passport size photographs, 2 copies of identity card (if Malaysian), 2 photocopies of the passport, a self-addressed stamped envelope, and a postal order payable to the High Commission for £4 sterling for the application fee. The High Commission will then forward the application for a Letter of Good Conduct to the Royal Malaysian Police Headquarters in Kuala Lumpur. The turnaround time is between 3 and 6 months. Applications for a full criminal record certificate must be made in writing, and enclose fingerprints, to the Central Criminal Registry in Malaysia.
