How long does it take for the court to issue a closing certificate?

There is no specific time for the court to issue the closing certificate, which depends on the case and the rules and regulations of the local court.

The closing certificate is sent directly to the court. Under normal circumstances, a criminal case can be closed with a closing certificate.

The process of opening the closing certificate:

1. Go to the local court that accepted the case at that time to confirm whether the case to be closed has been closed in the court;

2. If the case is closed, the court says to open a closing certificate, and the other party will give guidance, or go directly to the court to handle the case, and let the staff say that you want to open a closing certificate, and the other party will help you open it;

3. If the case is not closed, ask the court staff how to handle it on the phone. The court will give a closing certificate and the other party will tell you.
