6/9/20252 min read

If you’ve ever needed a police record for a job application, travel, or legal paperwork in the U.S. Virgin Islands, you know the process can feel confusing or time-consuming—especially if you’re off-island. At KamBri Solutions, we help make this easier by handling the process for you. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through what a police record is, why you may need one, and how to request it—whether you’re here in the territory or living elsewhere.

What Is a Police Record?

A police record, also known as a Police Clearance Certificate or background check, is an official document issued by the Virgin Islands Police Department (VIPD). It shows whether or not you have a criminal history in the territory.

This document is often required for:

  • Job applications

  • Immigration or visa applications

  • School or volunteer work

  • Government contracts or licenses

  • Personal record keeping


What You Need to Request a Police Record

To request your police record, you’ll need the following:

  • A valid photo ID (government-issued)

  • A completed request form

  • Proof of payment (if required)

  • A notarized letter of authorization (for third-party pickup like KamBri Solutions)

  • A passport-sized photo (in some cases)


If you’re off-island, you’ll also need to mail in or email these documents depending on the process required by the local office.

Where to Request Your Police Record

Police records are handled by the VIPD’s Records Bureau, which has offices on:

  • St. Thomas

  • St. Croix

  • St. John


Each island may have slightly different procedures or wait times, so it’s important to check ahead or use a service that knows the local process—like KamBri Solutions.

How Long Does It Take?

Processing times vary, but it typically takes 3 to 10 business days. During busy seasons or emergencies (like after hurricanes or holidays), the process may take longer.
