The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has started issuing a Local Police Clearance Certificate for use within Zimbabwe. This is part of efforts to make police clearance services faster and easier to access.
In a statement issued on Monday, 2 February 2026, ZRP spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said the new certificate, called ZRP Form 143, is yellow in colour and is meant for use by local companies and organisations. The statement reads:
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police advises members of the public that it has commenced the issuance of a Local Police Clearance Certificate, ZRP Form 143, which is identifiable by its yellow colour.
“Members of the public are advised that this Local Police Clearance Certificate will be issued in the same manner as the International Police Clearance Certificate, ZRP Form 143A.
“As such, no vetted fingerprints will be released to the fingerprint bearer. The Local Police Clearance Certificate is strictly for use within Zimbabwe.
“The introduction of the Local Police Clearance Certificate forms part of the Zimbabwe Republic Police’s ongoing efforts to improve service delivery, enhance operational efficiency and respond to the needs of the public in accessing police clearance services for local purposes.
“Members of the public are further advised that the fees applicable to police clearance certificates remain unchanged that is US$5.00 for a normal application, which will be processed within seven days and US$10.00 for an urgent application processed within three days.
“Members of the public are encouraged to visit their nearest police station for further guidance and clarification regarding the application process and the appropriate type of police clearance certificate to apply for.”
