Costa Rica prefers Apostille — Thailand uses the legalization chain instead (Police → MFA → Consular post). Every certificate we ship carries the issuing authority's full stamp and signature, certified translation by an MFA-recognized translator, MFA consular legalization, and สถานทูตคอสตาริกา attestation when required.
Rentista, Digital Nomad. 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 diplomatic mission in Costa Rica. (2) Ship originals and copies to our Thailand team. (3) We process the criminal records check, fingerprinting via FBI FD-258 or the Thai diplomatic mission. (4) Translation + MFA legalization + สถานทูตคอสตาริกา attestation. (5) DHL/FedEx ships back to Costa Rica in 7–15 days — total 15–30 days from dispatch.
Bundled cost shipping to Costa Rica ranges THB 6,000–15,000 depending on number of copies, translation language, and legalization level (MFA only vs. สถานทูตคอสตาริกา attestation). Postage ~ THB 2,500. Request a precise bundled quote anytime.
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.
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.
Cross-checking against an FBI Background Check (for US visas and employment) goes through an authorized channeler — Accurate Biometrics, Fieldprint, or via the US diplomatic mission in Thailand. We coordinate both sides, cutting 30 days down to 10-15.
For Hague Apostille Convention countries (113 jurisdictions) we package an Certificate authentication-ready PCC via MFA legalization. Thailand hasn't joined the Convention directly, but the MFA + diplomatic mission legalization combination is accepted as a functional substitute.
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.
