Italy requires MFA legalization followed by attestation at the สถานทูตอิตาลี. Every certificate we ship carries the issuing authority's full stamp and signature, certified translation by an MFA-recognized translator, MFA consular legalization, and สถานทูตอิตาลี attestation when required.
Elective Residency. All long-stay visas above require a PCC from every country where the applicant lived for 6–12 months or more during the past 5–10 years. Our finished certificate is ready to file immediately after the legalization chain is complete.
(1) Sign and have the PoA legalized at the Thai consular post in Italy. (2) Ship originals and copies to our Thailand team. (3) We process the criminal records check, fingerprinting via FBI FD-258 or the Thai diplomatic mission. (4) Translation + MFA legalization + สถานทูตอิตาลี attestation. (5) DHL/FedEx ships back to Italy in 7–15 days — total 15–30 days from dispatch.
Bundled cost shipping to Italy ranges Request a quote depending on number of copies, translation language, and legalization level (MFA only vs. สถานทูตอิตาลี attestation). Postage ~ Request a quote. Request a precise bundled quote anytime.
Applicants who changed names (marriage, divorce, religious conversion) must list every prior name on the application form and attach every change-of-name certificate. Otherwise the PCC only covers the current name and misses the historical periods.
Former military and police personnel get a PCC noting their rank and unit. Some embassies (Germany, France) request a Discharge Letter to confirm no military-court cases.
Cross-checking against an FBI Background Check (for US visas and employment) goes through an authorized channeler — Accurate Biometrics, Fieldprint, or via the US consular post in Thailand. We coordinate both sides, cutting 30 days down to 10-15.
For Hague Apostille Convention countries (113 jurisdictions) we package an Document attestation-ready PCC via MFA legalization. Thailand hasn't joined the Convention directly, but the MFA + consular post legalization combination is accepted as a functional substitute.
Applications must be made at the Criminal Records Division (CRD), Building 7, Royal Thai Police HQ, Rama I Road, or via the People's Background Check Center, Forensic Science Police Office. The five core steps: (1) book online at pcscenter.sb.police.go.th, (2) prepare original and copy documents, (3) attend the 10-fingerprint scan, (4) pay the THB 100–200 government fee, (5) wait 7–15 business days standard or 3–5 days for express.
Required documents: original Thai national ID card, two copies of the ID, two copies of the house registration, original passport plus copies of the photo page and entry/exit stamps, every name-change certificate (if any), marriage/divorce certificate (if any), the completed application form, an invitation or purpose letter from the destination authority (diplomatic mission, employer, school), and — for representation — a Power of Attorney with a THB 30 stamp duty plus the representative's ID copy.

Durations are estimates and depend on the responsible authority's queue. Always confirm current requirements with the receiving body before filing.
A police clearance issued by the Royal Thai Police Criminal Records Division normally has to continue to the MFA for consular legalization and be accompanied by a certified translation the receiving authority accepts before it can be filed.
Written from the competent authority's published rules, not marketing copy.
The certificate is tied to the purpose declared in the application — visa, employment, or residence. Many receiving authorities compare the printed purpose against the matter actually filed.
Fix the order at the outset: record check, receive the original, translate, then certify along the chain the destination requires. Skipping a step almost always causes rework. Our team can confirm the sequence for your destination by phone, LINE, or email.
