Q1109. Must fingerprints taken at a provincial police station (e.g., Khon Kaen or Udon Thani) be signed by a duty officer?

Answered by NYC Visa & Translation

Fingerprints taken at a provincial police station should be authenticated by the officer taking or supervising them, but confirm the precise signature and stamp requirements with the Police Clearance Service Center. The important point is proper officer identification and completion of the required fields, not simply whether someone holds the title of duty officer. Before visiting a station in Khon Kaen or Udon Thani, ask whether it provides fingerprinting for police clearance applications and can complete the accepted form. Bring your identification and the current instructions. Before leaving, check the prints for clarity and confirm that the date, officer details, signature, and any required station seal are present.
