Interpol Procedures in Afghanistan – Cosmos Legal Law Firm Guide
1. What is Interpol and How Does it Operate in Afghanistan?
Interpol (International Criminal Police Organization) is an international organization facilitating cross-border crime control and tracking of fugitives, with over 195 member countries.
Afghanistan is a member state, and Interpol-related operations within the country are handled by the National Central Bureau (NCB), which operates under the Afghan National Police (ANP). The NCB coordinates international judicial assistance and crime tracking.
Cosmos Legal Law Firm provides legal advisory and official representation within Afghanistan’s Interpol framework. We liaise directly with Afghan and Turkish authorities to ensure processes are handled quickly, securely, and in compliance with international law.
2. When Are Interpol Procedures in Afghanistan Initiated?
Interpol procedures in Afghanistan typically arise in the following situations:
-
Inquiry into individuals subject to a Red Notice
-
Requests for information in Afghan or international investigations
-
Removal or objection to incorrect or outdated Interpol records
-
Passport and border-crossing checks involving Interpol queries
-
Information sharing under international judicial assistance agreements
All these procedures must comply with both Afghan law and international criminal law.
3. How to Apply for Interpol Procedures in Afghanistan
Interpol requests cannot be made directly by individuals; official applications must be filed through lawyers or authorized representatives. When applying from Turkey or other countries, the general steps are:
1. Case Analysis:
Cosmos Legal carefully examines the client’s Interpol record or relevant file history.
2. Document Preparation:
Necessary documents—ID, passport, power of attorney, court decisions—are prepared, translated into English, Pashto, or Dari if needed, and notarized.
3. Official Communication with Afghanistan’s NCB:
Cosmos Legal handles all correspondence with Afghanistan’s Interpol NCB, managing inquiries, record deletions, or information requests.
4. Outcome and Reporting:
Responses from Afghan authorities are verified via Interpol General Secretariat and reported to the client.

Record removal or objection procedures: 6–10 weeks
Cosmos Legal actively monitors every stage to minimize delays.
