Our lawyers and runners handle every step under Power of Attorney, eliminating queue time at the CRD and the need to shuttle between government offices. Our lawyers and runners handle every step under Power of Attorney, eliminating queue time at the CRD and the need to shuttle between government offices. Standard pricing starts at THB 1,500 for in-Thailand use and THB 4,000–8,000 for the bundled package including translation, MFA legalization, and destination consular post attestation.
For Hague Apostille Convention countries (113 jurisdictions) we package an Document attestation-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.
PCC for nurses/doctors heading overseas — UK NMC, Australia AHPRA, US NCLEX, Saudi DataFlow verification.
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. The five core steps: (1) book online at pcscenter.sb.police.go.th, (2) prepare original and copy documents, (3) attend the 10-fingerprint scan, (4) pay the THB 100–200 government fee, (5) wait 7–15 business days standard or 3–5 days for express.
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 (consulate, employer, school), and — for representation — a Power of Attorney with a THB 30 stamp duty plus the representative's ID copy.
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.
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 apostille is not available.
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.
Translation must be done by a translator registered with the MFA Department of Consular Affairs or otherwise recognized by them. The certified translation 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.
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.
After MFA, the final step is destination-diplomatic mission attestation in Thailand. Each consulate 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.
If you cannot visit the CRD in person, you can authorize our team via a Power of Attorney with a THB 30 stamp duty and ID copies of both grantor and representative. We schedule one visit for the legally-required fingerprint scan, then handle every remaining step.
Common rejection / delay reasons: unclear fingerprints requiring a re-scan, mismatched names across documents, missing supporting documents, the stated purpose not matching the destination form, address mismatches between house registration and passport, or an outstanding case requiring clarification. Pre-application consultation eliminates most of these risks.
Foreign nationals residing in Thailand can request a Thai PCC for their Thai Work Permit, LTR visa, Thai PR application, or use back home. The process mirrors Thai citizens but uses the original passport and Work Permit; the destination purpose must be clearly stated.
Thai citizens living overseas can use our service without flying home. Sign a Power of Attorney at a Thai consular post in your country of residence, send the originals and copies to our team, and we handle fingerprinting either through the Thai consular post (live-scan) or with the FBI FD-258 form, then ship the legalized PCC to your destination via DHL / FedEx.
Mobile Live-Scan fingerprinting suits clients who can't visit the Criminal Records Division. We bring an FBI-grade digital fingerprint scanner to your home or office across Bangkok and surroundings within 4 hours of booking. Add-on THB 1,500-2,500.
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 + consulate stacks 2-3 business days on top.
PCC for international adoption must explicitly cite 'For International Adoption' and include a letter from the adoption agency or destination consular post. Scrutiny is stricter than standard visa cases — sometimes including spouse and household background checks.
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.
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 consulate in Thailand. We coordinate both sides, cutting 30 days down to 10-15.
