No $100.00 fast fee for police clearance

The Office of the Commissioner of the Royal Solomon Island Police Force (RSIPF) notifies the general public that there is no such thing as a $100.00 fast fee for police clearance.

This notification came after the RSIPF Commissioners office received complaints about an allegation of a $100.00 fast fee for police clearance.

Deputy Commissioner (DC) National Security Operation Support (NSOS) Mr. Ian Vaevaso said there is no such thing as a $100.00 fast fee to be paid for the police clearance.

“The normal process is you will have to fill out a police form, go to the Ministry of Finance and Treasury, and pay an amount of $98.00; from there they will give you two receipts,” said DC Vaevaso.

Mr. Vaevaso said when you receive your two receipts, go back to the police clearance office, give them the receipt, and then they will process your police clearance but not the $100.00 fast fee as alleged.

He said if someone from the police clearance office obtains the $100.00 fast fee from you,

report it to the Commissioner of Police office or to the Professional Standard Internal Investigation Department for dealings and disciplinary action.

An instruction has been given to the police clearance office about the matter.
