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

(3) We process the criminal records check, fingerprinting via FBI FD-258 or the Thai embassy. (4) Translation + MFA legalization + สถานทูตตุรกี attestation. (5) DHL/FedEx ships back to Turkey in 7–15 days — total 15–30 days from dispatch.

How to apply for a Thai Police Clearance Certificate
An authentic certificate carries the Garuda emblem, the Royal Thai Police logo, the applicant's name in Thai and English, national ID number, date of birth, nationality, purpose of application, the result (clear / not clear with detail), the signature of the Commander of the CRD, and the office's blue seal. The reference number can be verified with the CRD.
Documents you need to prepare before filing
Translation must be done by a translator registered with the MFA Department of Consular Affairs or otherwise recognized by them. The translation must mirror the original — dates, reference numbers, signatory name, and result. For Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, or Arabic, we offer in-house translation followed by MFA legalization.
Government fees and standard turnaround times
Consular legalization happens at the MFA Department of Consular Affairs, Chaeng Wattana Road, or its regional branches. The fee is THB 200 per document for standard service (2 business days) or THB 400 for express (1 business day). Legalized documents carry the red MFA seal, the legalization officer's signature, and a reference number for verification.
Difference between the police PCC and MFA / embassy legalization
After MFA, the final step is destination-embassy attestation in Thailand. Each embassy has its own timing, fee, and rules — typically 3–10 business days. Some require online booking; we book and submit on your behalf where embassy rules allow.
What the certificate looks like and key fields to verify
If you cannot visit the CRD in person, you can authorize our team via a Power of Attorney with a THB 30 stamp duty and ID copies of both grantor and representative. We schedule one visit for the legally-required fingerprint scan, then handle every remaining step.
Translating the PCC into English and the destination language
Common rejection / delay reasons: unclear fingerprints requiring a re-scan, mismatched names across documents, missing supporting documents, the stated purpose not matching the destination form, address mismatches between house registration and passport, or an outstanding case requiring clarification. Pre-application consultation eliminates most of these risks.
