Police clearance from United States

Issuing agency: Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), CJIS Division

Document: FBI Identity History Summary (IdHS)

Fingerprints required

ยื่นอิเล็กทรอนิกส์ผ่าน FBI Channeler ที่ได้รับอนุมัติจะเร็วกว่าการส่งไปรษณีย์ตรงถึง CJIS อย่างมีนัยสำคัญ

ต้อง apostille จาก U.S. Department of State (Office of Authentications) ก่อน จากนั้นแปลไทยและใช้ยื่นหน่วยงานไทยได้ (ไทยยังไม่เป็นภาคีอนุสัญญา Apostille จนกว่าจะมีผล 28 กุมภาพันธ์ 2570 จึงต้องผ่านการรับรองสถานทูตไทยหรือกรมการกงสุลตามที่ปลายทางกำหนด)

ต้องใช้บัตรพิมพ์ลายนิ้วมือ FD-258 ที่พิมพ์โดยหน่วยงานที่รับได้ ถ้าอยู่ไทยสามารถพิมพ์ลายนิ้วมือได้ที่กองทะเบียนประวัติอาชญากรแล้วส่งกลับไปยัง FBI

รับรอง apostille ที่ FCDO Legalisation Office แล้วจึงแปลไทยเพื่อใช้ในประเทศไทย

ACRO Police Certificate ระบุที่อยู่ปลายทางที่จะใช้ ถ้าเปลี่ยนประเทศปลายทางมักต้องขอฉบับใหม่ ส่วน Disclosure Scotland ใช้กับผู้ที่มีถิ่นที่อยู่ในสกอตแลนด์

Police clearance from Canada

Issuing agency: Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)

Document: RCMP Certified Criminal Record Check

หลายประเทศกำหนดอายุเอกสารไม่เกิน 3–6 เดือน จึงควรวางลำดับการยื่นให้สอดคล้องกับกำหนดยื่นวีซ่าหรือใบอนุญาตทำงาน

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
