Criminal Background Check

Short-term visitors and volunteers (less than a week) are supervised by our staff. However, if you are volunteering for a longer period and over 18, we will require a criminal background clearance or the equivalent from your home country. If you are under 18, we will require additional charater references from your school or employer.

In Singapore, you can contact us for the request letter to submit to the Singapore Police for a Certificate of No Criminal Convictions.

Thank you!
