You may need to get a police clearance certificate (Criminal Disclosure in the UK) before arriving in Qatar to start a job. Your employer should tell you if this is necessary.

If you are coming to Qatar from your own country you should obtain your certificate before coming to Qatar. In the UK you can get this certificate from your local constabulary. First download form SA1: Application for Access to Your Personal Data from your local force’s website. Then return it to the local constabulary (address is usually specified on the website) with a cheque for the required amount and proof of identity: two official documents which between them provide enough information to prove your name, date of birth, current address and signature.

After you have arrived in Qatar, you will need to take this certificate to your embassy for attestation.

If you are already in Qatar you may be able to get the necessary certificate from your embassy. British citizens can make a statutory declaration at the British Embassy.

After your embassy has finished with the form, you then need to take it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be stamped. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is located off the Corniche on Al Muthaf Street. Turn right at Museum Roundabout, MFA is directly behind Al Seef Hotel. There is a small fee for each document which must be paid with a credit or debit card.

When they have done this, you then need to take your certificate to the Criminal Evidence and Investigations Department.
