Q1192. Does an official Royal Thai Police clearance certificate feature an authentic physical embossed raised seal?
Answered by NYC Visa & Translation
An embossed raised seal should not be treated as a universal authenticity requirement for a Royal Thai Police clearance certificate. I cannot confirm that every current certificate format includes one, and appearance alone cannot establish authenticity. If you are checking a document, ask the issuing Police Clearance Service Center to confirm the applicable format and available verification method. Review the applicant details, issue date, reference information, and any signatures or authentication features, but do not rely on unofficial sample images as definitive proof. For overseas use, ask the receiving authority whether it requires the original and legalization. A photocopy or scan may not reproduce a physical impression clearly.
