how does it work?
South African police clearance certificates are processed only at the Criminal Record Centre in Pretoria.
To obtain a South African Police Clearance Certificate, there are certain processes to be followed and documents that will need to be provided; which include your fingerprints, completed application form, and copy of your ID or Passport.
Once we handed in the application to the South African police services on your behalf, the applicant’s prints and identity number were loaded on the system.
The South African Police Service then uses your fingerprints and ID number to determine whether you have a criminal record. Should there be no record listed against your name, the Police Clearance Certificate will be issued, stating that no convictions have been recorded for any crime in the Applicants name in South Africa.
