What type of PCC does Norway require?
Norway requires MFA legalization followed by attestation at the สถานทูตนอร์เวย์. Every certificate we ship carries the issuing authority's full stamp and signature, certified translation by an MFA-recognized translator, MFA consular legalization, and สถานทูตนอร์เวย์ attestation when required.
Norway visas commonly requiring PCC
Skilled Worker. 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.
Workflow for clients already in Norway
(1) Sign and have the PoA legalized at the Thai consulate in Norway. (2) Ship originals and copies to our Thailand team. (3) We process the criminal records check, fingerprinting via FBI FD-258 or the Thai consulate. (4) Translation + MFA legalization + สถานทูตนอร์เวย์ attestation. (5) DHL/FedEx ships back to Norway in 7–15 days — total 15–30 days from dispatch.
Total cost shipping to Norway
Bundled cost shipping to Norway ranges THB 6,000–15,000 depending on number of copies, translation language, and legalization level (MFA only vs. สถานทูตนอร์เวย์ attestation). Postage ~ THB 2,500. Request a precise bundled quote anytime.
How to appoint our team via Power of Attorney
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.
Common reasons applications get rejected or delayed
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.
PCC for foreign nationals living in Thailand
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.
Requesting a PCC from overseas using a Power of Attorney
For Hague Apostille Convention countries (113 jurisdictions) we package an Legalization-ready PCC via MFA legalization. Thailand hasn't joined the Convention directly, but the MFA + consulate apostille combination is accepted as a functional substitute.
Mobile live-scan fingerprinting at home or office
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.
1-day express PCC for visa-deadline cases
