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

PCC for foreign nationals living in Thailand
Required documents: original Thai national ID card, two copies of the ID, two copies of the house registration, original passport plus copies of the photo page and entry/exit stamps, every name-change certificate (if any), marriage/divorce certificate (if any), the completed application form, an invitation or purpose letter from the destination authority (diplomatic mission, employer, school), and — for representation — a Power of Attorney with a THB 30 stamp duty plus the representative's ID copy.
Requesting a PCC from overseas using a Power of Attorney
CRD government fees are THB 100 for the Thai-language certificate and THB 200 for the English version. Standard processing 7–15 business days; express 3–5 days. Our service fee covers document running, off-site fingerprinting, coordination, translation, MFA legalization, and consulate attestation — bundled from THB 4,000 depending on destination country and number of copies.
Mobile live-scan fingerprinting at home or office
The police PCC alone is valid only inside Thailand. To use it overseas, two more steps are required: (1) translation by an MFA-recognized translator, and (2) consular legalization at the Department of Consular Affairs (MFA), then optionally consulate attestation. This is Thailand's legalization chain — Thailand has not joined the Hague Apostille Convention 1961, so true document attestation is not available.
1-day express PCC for visa-deadline cases
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.
PCC for international adoption proceedings
Translation must be done by a translator registered with the MFA Department of Consular Affairs or otherwise recognized by them. The official rendering 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.
PCC for employment in Five Eyes countries (US/UK/CA/AU/NZ)
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 enterprise day). Legalized documents carry the red MFA seal, the legalization officer's signature, and a reference number for verification.
