LPT Police Verification Addresses

 

Anyone who wishes to be LPT is required to be of good character.

In order for the EC-Council to determine whether you are of good character, you may be asked to provide a police certificate. Police verification is preferred, though not mandatory. However, one of the requirements of being able to avail a license in Penetration Testing is that the candidate should be able to supply a photocopy of his /her criminal background check that is available through any local law enforcement agency. The document should certify that the individual does not have any criminal record/background.

This template explains how to obtain a police certificate. Please check the list of countries and areas below. If you have lived in any one of them for a total of one year or more in the last 10 years, you must get a police certificate from the authorities in that country or area. If a country is not listed, please contact the nearest office of the department for further information.

Police certificates are often only available to current residents or to citizens where these restrictions apply, it will be indicated under the relevant country. For some countries, different procedures are shown for residents and non-residents.

Note: The term ‘residents’ under each country listing refers to applicants who are currently residing in that particular country. Details shown are subject to change without notice by the authorities of the relevant country, and the EC-Council can take no responsibility for their accuracy.
