Q1015. Where should a Thai citizen residing overseas go to get their fingerprints taken for a Thai police clearance?

Answered by NYC Visa & Translation

A Thai citizen overseas should first check whether the nearest Thai embassy or consulate offers fingerprinting, or use a local police or fingerprinting provider acceptable to the Royal Thai Police. Not every diplomatic mission provides this service, and local appointment arrangements differ. Obtain the Police Clearance Service Center’s current requirements for fingerprint format, number of sets, identity verification, and the collecting officer’s certification before attending. Bring your passport, Thai identification where required, and the appropriate fingerprint sheets. Ask whether fingerprints need any additional authentication before submission; local notarization alone should not be assumed sufficient. Keep the completed sheets clean and undamaged, and follow the Center’s overseas application instructions.
