Attention: New Application Process for South African Police Clearance Certificates

Please note that members of the public are no longer permitted to submit their South African Police Clearance applications and the documentation thereof to the Criminal Record Centre (CRC) in Pretoria directly as previously permitted.

Following new developments, it has become the responsibility of the South African Police Station (SAPS) within the applicant(s) region to compile and deliver the applications to the Criminal Record Centre (CRC) on behalf of the applicant(s). Please note that this new process will likely result in longer turnaround times. We will keep you posted as we learn more.
