Q1002. How do I apply for a Thai Police Clearance Certificate from the Royal Thai Police?
Answered by NYC Visa & Translation
Apply through the Royal Thai Police Police Clearance Service Center, using the application route appropriate to whether you are in Thailand or overseas. Start by obtaining the current official checklist and application form, then prepare your identity documents, evidence of your connection to Thailand, and documents showing why the certificate is needed. Arrange fingerprints according to the instructions for your application route. Confirm submission options, payment arrangements, and certificate delivery directly with the Center before sending originals or traveling. Make sure your name and passport details are consistent throughout. After issuance, ask the receiving embassy or immigration authority whether translation or legalization is necessary; these are separate from the police application.
