South Korea requires MFA legalization followed by attestation at the สถานทูตเกาหลีใต้. Every certificate we ship carries the issuing authority's full stamp and signature, certified translation by an MFA-recognized translator, MFA consular legalization, and สถานทูตเกาหลีใต้ attestation when required.
F-6 Marriage, E-7. 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 consulate in South Korea. (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 + สถานทูตเกาหลีใต้ attestation.

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.
Thai citizens living overseas can use our service without flying home. Sign a Power of Attorney at a Thai consular post in your country of residence, send the originals and copies to our team, and we handle fingerprinting either through the Thai diplomatic mission (live-scan) or with the FBI FD-258 form, then ship the legalized PCC to your destination via DHL / FedEx.
Mobile Live-Scan fingerprinting suits clients who can't visit the Criminal Records Division. We bring an FBI-grade digital fingerprint scanner to your home or office across Bangkok and surroundings within 4 hours of booking. Add-on Request a quote.
1-day express for visa deadlines uses the CRD Premium channel — government fee jumps to THB 1,000 plus THB 5,000 express service. Start before 09:00 and the certificate is issued by 16:00 the same day; MFA + consular post stacks 2-3 business days on top.
PCC for international adoption must explicitly cite 'For International Adoption' and include a letter from the adoption agency or destination consular post. Scrutiny is stricter than standard visa cases — sometimes including spouse and household background checks.
Five Eyes countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ) run their own background check and cross-reference any PCC from countries the applicant has lived in. Inconsistencies trigger immediate refusal of work permits or PR.

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.
Applicants often expect the check to complete on submission. In practice, fingerprints must be taken to the prescribed standard and compared against the national database, so the processing time is controlled by the checking authority rather than by the applicant or any agent.
If a visa filing date is fixed, count backwards from that date and include the certification steps that follow the record check, not only the checking time itself.

For edge cases — mismatched names across documents, foreign-issued records, or a tight deadline — have the set reviewed first, then reconfirm the conditions with Police Clearance Service Centre, Royal Thai Police. Ask our staff by phone, LINE or email for scope and timing (we do not publish fees on the page because they depend on the document type and destination).

Turnaround is not fixed: it depends on the queue and rules of Police Clearance Service Centre, Royal Thai Police, the document type, and the receiving office abroad.

Validity is set by the receiving office, not by the service provider.

This is general guidance; requirements and processing times change — verify with the competent authority before filing.
Some steps require the document owner to sign or appear; others accept a power of attorney. It depends on the rules of Police Clearance Service Centre, Royal Thai Police and on the document type, so confirm before booking an appointment rather than travelling and being turned away. Our staff can clarify by phone, LINE or email. This is general guidance; requirements and processing times change — verify with the competent authority before filing.
