What type of PCC does Russia require?
Russia requires MFA legalization followed by attestation at the สถานทูตรัสเซีย. Every certificate we ship carries the issuing authority's full stamp and signature, certified translation by an MFA-recognized translator, MFA consular legalization, and สถานทูตรัสเซีย attestation when required.
Russia visas commonly requiring PCC
HQS. 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.

Difference between the police PCC and MFA / embassy legalization
Foreign nationals residing in Thailand can request a Thai PCC for their Thai Work Permit, LTR visa, Thai PR application, or use back home. The process mirrors Thai citizens but uses the original passport and Work Permit; the destination purpose must be clearly stated.
What the certificate looks like and key fields to verify
Thai citizens living overseas can use our service without flying home. Sign a Power of Attorney at a Thai embassy in your country of residence, send the originals and copies to our team, and we handle fingerprinting either through the Thai embassy (live-scan) or with the FBI FD-258 form, then ship the legalized PCC to your destination via DHL / FedEx.
Translating the PCC into English and the destination language
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.
MFA consular legalization process at the Department of Consular Affairs
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 (embassy, employer, school), and — for representation — a Power of Attorney with a THB 30 stamp duty plus the representative's ID copy.
Submitting to the destination embassy and processing times
CRD government fees are THB 100 for the Thai-language certificate and THB 200 for the English version. Standard processing 7–15 business days; express 3–5 days. Our service fee covers document running, off-site fingerprinting, coordination, translation, MFA legalization, and embassy attestation — bundled from THB 4,000 depending on destination country and number of copies.
How to appoint our team via Power of Attorney
The police PCC alone is valid only inside Thailand. To use it overseas, two more steps are required: (1) translation by an MFA-recognized translator, and (2) consular legalization at the Department of Consular Affairs (MFA), then optionally embassy attestation. This is Thailand's legalization chain — Thailand has not joined the Hague Apostille Convention 1961, so true apostille is not available.
