Q1069. Must fingerprints taken at a local Thai police station be officially signed and stamped by a commissioned officer?

Answered by NYC Visa & Translation

Fingerprint sheets taken at a Thai police station generally need the required official authentication, but confirm whether a commissioned officer’s signature and stamp are specifically required for your application. Obtain the current fingerprint instructions from the Royal Thai Police Police Clearance Service Center before visiting the station. Ask the station to include every required officer detail, signature, date, and station seal, rather than assuming clear fingerprints alone are sufficient. Check that your name and passport number match your application and that all required impressions are present. A translator’s stamp or private notarization cannot replace missing police authentication. Request correction at the fingerprinting station before sending the originals onward.
