How it works

  1. 1

    Prepare docs + fingerprint appointment

    ID/passport + appointment slip — we book the slot at Police Records HQ.

  2. 2

    Take fingerprints (10-print)

    At the Criminal Records Division, Pathum Wan, or any provincial police HQ.

  3. 3

    File request + database check

    Officers check Thailand-wide criminal databases — 7–10 days.

  4. 4

    Pickup (on your behalf)

    Our runners pick up the original and verify spelling matches the passport.

  5. 5

    Translate + MFA + embassy

    Add translation and legalization for overseas use.

Why use a service — vs. DIY at Police HQ?

1) Walk-in queues at Criminal Records HQ are full — slots can be 2–3 weeks out. We hold weekly reserved slots. 2) Names that don't match the passport letter-for-letter are rejected abroad — we triple-check before filing. 3) Overseas applicants don't need to fly in — we use a POA + fingerprints taken by their local police.

Overseas applicants (FBI-style remote process)

Steps: 1) The applicant visits local police and prints onto an FD-258 card (or equivalent). 2) Mail the card + passport copy + notarized POA to our Bangkok office. 3) We file with Police Records HQ on the applicant's behalf. 4) We DHL/FedEx the original back.

Total time: 4–6 weeks (incl. international shipping). Service from THB 8,500 — translation + MFA included.

Tip — don't let the certificate expire before use

Many embassies only accept certificates issued ≤ 3 months ago (UK/Canada) — others ≤ 6 months (US/AU). Request the Police Clearance only after the rest of the file is 80% ready to avoid expiry.
