Complete guide: Thai Police Clearance Certificate
What type of PCC does Denmark require?
Denmark requires MFA legalization followed by attestation at the สถานทูตเดนมาร์ก. Every certificate we ship carries the issuing authority's full stamp and signature, certified translation by an MFA-recognized translator, MFA consular legalization, and สถานทูตเดนมาร์ก attestation when required.
Denmark visas commonly requiring PCC
Pay Limit Scheme. 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.

Cross-checking the Thai PCC against an FBI Background Check

Apostille-ready PCC packaging for Hague Convention destinations
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 + diplomatic mission stacks 2-3 business days on top.
How to apply for a Thai Police Clearance Certificate
PCC for international adoption must explicitly cite 'For International Adoption' and include a letter from the adoption agency or destination diplomatic mission. Scrutiny is stricter than standard visa cases — sometimes including spouse and household background checks.
Documents you need to prepare before filing
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.
Government fees and standard turnaround times
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.
Difference between the police PCC and MFA / embassy legalization
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.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Can I request the PCC of a deceased person?
Yes for legal need (estate, cold cases). The requester must be a legal heir and supply the death certificate plus proof of heirship.
Can I get a PCC for a minor child?
Children under 14 usually don't need one. Some destinations (US, Canada) require it from age 16. Parental consent + the child attending the fingerprint scan in person.

Standard 7–15 business days at the CRD, plus 2–10 days for MFA and consulate — total 10–25 days. Same-day express is available case-by-case.
What are the government fees?
THB 100 for the Thai version, THB 200 for the English version. MFA legalization is THB 200 (standard) or THB 400 (express) per document.
