Complete guide: Thai Police Clearance Certificate

What type of PCC does Switzerland require?

Switzerland requires MFA legalization followed by attestation at the สถานทูตสวิตเซอร์แลนด์. Every certificate we ship carries the issuing authority's full stamp and signature, certified translation by an MFA-recognized translator, MFA consular legalization, and สถานทูตสวิตเซอร์แลนด์ attestation when required.

Switzerland visas commonly requiring PCC

Permit B/C. 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 Switzerland

(1) Sign and have the PoA legalized at the Thai consulate in Switzerland. (2) Ship originals and copies to our Thailand team. (3) We process the criminal records check, fingerprinting via FBI FD-258 or the Thai consular post. (4) Translation + MFA legalization + สถานทูตสวิตเซอร์แลนด์ attestation. (5) DHL/FedEx ships back to Switzerland in 7–15 days — total 15–30 days from dispatch.

Total cost shipping to Switzerland

Bundled cost shipping to Switzerland ranges THB 6,000–15,000 depending on number of copies, translation language, and legalization level (MFA only vs. สถานทูตสวิตเซอร์แลนด์ attestation). Postage ~ THB 2,500. Request a precise bundled quote anytime.

Difference between the police PCC and MFA / embassy legalization

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 Contact us for a quote depending on destination country and number of copies.

What the certificate looks like and key fields to verify

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 consular post attestation. This is Thailand's legalization chain — Thailand has not joined the Hague Apostille Convention 1961, so true certificate authentication is not available.

Translating the PCC into English and the destination language

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.

MFA consular legalization process at the Department of Consular Affairs

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.

Submitting to the destination embassy and processing 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 commercial day). Legalized documents carry the red MFA seal, the legalization officer's signature, and a reference number for verification.

How to appoint our team via Power of Attorney

After MFA, the final step is destination-consulate attestation in Thailand. Each consular post 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.

How the work runs and the documents you need first

We are both the filing team and your advisers, with 15+ years of combined experience. We map the document route and confirm the realistic steps for your case before any work starts.

Working steps

  1. 1. Confirm the purpose and receiving authority

    The stated purpose determines the certificate format, the language of the translation and whether fingerprints are mandatory.

    Handled by: Applicant + our team · Typical time: Same day

  2. 2. Fingerprinting

    Attend the records division or an accepted station; overseas applicants use an embassy or local police form.

    Handled by: Applicant · Typical time: 1 day

  3. 3. Lodge the application

    The file is submitted to the Royal Thai Police and tracked until issue.

    Handled by: Our team · Typical time: 2–4 weeks

  4. 4. Translate and legalise

    Certified translation plus consular and embassy steps where the destination requires them.

    Handled by: Our team · Typical time: 3–7 business days

Overall timeframe: Plan for roughly 3–6 weeks from first appointment to a fully translated and legalised certificate. The police processing stage is the longest and cannot be accelerated by an agent.

Documents to prepare first

  • Passport (original or clear bio-page copy)

    Spelling must match the application exactly

  • Thai ID card and house registration, or visa/work permit pages

    Thai nationals use ID and house registration; foreign nationals use immigration records

  • Fingerprint form

    Taken at the records division, an accepted police station, or an embassy if you are overseas

  • Power of attorney if a representative files for you

    Required where the applicant cannot attend in person

  • Photographs to the current specification

    Recent, plain background, matching the application form

Advisory tips

  • Apply early — most destinations only accept certificates issued within the last 3–12 months
  • Use the same passport for the application and the later submission
  • Ask whether the authority wants the certificate sent directly by the issuing body

Why files get rejected

  • No agent can change the outcome of a records check or shorten the police queue
  • Name mismatches between passport and translation are the most common rejection cause
  • Skipping a legalisation step usually forces the entire chain to be repeated

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Why do I need MFA and embassy legalization?
Thailand is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention. Overseas use requires the chain Police → MFA → destination consular post.
What if my record is not clear?
Our lawyers review the case. Minor expired offences may qualify for record erasure under the Criminal Records Act.
Do I have to attend the CRD in person?
Only for the 10-finger scan. Everything else can be handled by our team.
Is off-site fingerprinting possible?
Yes, case-by-case for elderly, bedridden, or remote foreign clients. Extra fee applies and pre-arrangement is required.
Can a foreigner's Thai PCC be used in their home country?
Yes after MFA and home-country consulate legalization. Common for foreign PR or returning home.

All registered criminal cases since legal adulthood.
If I changed my name, do I declare the old one?
Yes — list every former name on the form and attach all name-change certificates so the CRD can search completely.
How long is the PCC valid?
Usually 3-6 months from the issue date. Strict embassies (US, Canada, UK) enforce 3 months; Germany, Spain accept 6.
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.
