Let Us Assist You With Your Police Clearance Certificate

Get your official SAPS Police Clearance Certificate quicker and with less hassle. We are a private service provider that helps you obtain a South African Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) – the document required to prove you have no criminal record (often needed for visas, work or study abroad, emigration, etc.). Our team handles the entire process on your behalf, saving you time and effort.

Why do I need a Police Clearance Certificate? A PCC is issued by the South African Police Service and confirms whether you have a criminal record in South Africa. It’s commonly required when emigrating, applying for foreign work or residence permits, or even certain local job applications. If you’re planning to travel, work, or live overseas, authorities will likely ask for this certificate as part of your background check.

What Is A PCC?

A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is an official document issued by the South African Police Service. It is based on formal records and background checks and confirms whether or not you have a criminal record.

This document is sometimes referred to as a criminal check, clearance certificate, or penal record.

In most cases, you will be required to provide a PCC for:

  • Immigration applications
  • Certain visa applications
  • Employment, studies, or citizenship abroad
  • Overseas adoptions

The Official Process – and Its Challenges:

You can apply for a PCC by yourself at a police station, but be prepared for long waiting times. Local police stations usually forward fingerprint forms in batches and the central processing can take months to complete. In fact, the standard processing time for a SAPS police clearance can be 4 to 6 months if you go through the normal channels. The official application fee is only about R190, but the delay and effort can be significant. If you’re on a tight timeline or located abroad, this route can be frustrating.

How Our Service Helps (Fast & Hassle-Free):

We offer an expedited police clearance service to dramatically cut down the wait. Instead of half a year, our clients typically receive their Police Clearance Certificates in as little as 7–15 working days. Here’s how we make it easy for you:

Police Clearance Certificates Step 1

Step 1 – Complete Documents

You provide us with the required documents: an original set of your fingerprints ( we accept scanned copies of fingerprints. No need to courier . Saving clients time and delivery fees. Fingerprints can also be taken in front of a notary ), a copy of your ID or passport, and if you’ve changed your name (e.g. after marriage) and need that on the certificate, a copy of your marriage certificate. (Don’t worry, we’ll guide you through exactly what’s needed and how to get your fingerprints taken.)

Police Clearance Certificates Submit

Step 2 – Application Lodgement

Once we have your documents, our team lodges your application directly with the SAPS Criminal Record Centre (CRC) in Pretoria. We are experienced in the PCC application process, so we ensure everything is filled out correctly and submitted through the proper channels. (As a private courier service for PCC applications, we know the ins-and-outs of the CRC requirements and keep up with any procedural changes.)

Police Clearance Certificates Follow Up

Step 3 – Follow-up & Fast Tracking

We queue on your behalf and keep track of the application’s progress inside the police system. Because we submit directly and frequently, we can help avoid common delays – for example, we don’t wait for batches to be sent from a police station; we hand-deliver and process immediately. Our staff in Pretoria liaise with the Criminal Record Centre to expedite your clearance as much as possible.

Police Clearance Certificates Delivery

Step 4 – Certificate Delivery

As soon as your official Police Clearance Certificate is issued by SAPS, we collect it immediately and can courier it to your doorstep, anywhere in South Africa or even abroad. (Courier fees are charged separately, but we’ll arrange whatever delivery method you prefer.) The certificate you receive is the same official document you’d get if you applied on your own – the difference is that you got it in days rather than months, with minimal effort on your part.

Turnaround Time:

On average, clients who use our service receive their PCC in approximately 2 weeks (7–20 business days). Compare this to the 4–6 month timeline via the standard process, and it’s clear why our offering is valuable for those in a hurry. We also offer urgent options – in some cases we’ve obtained PCCs in as fast as 4 – 7 working days (conditions apply; contact us for details if you have an emergency request). We pride ourselves on one of the best turnaround times in the industry, thanks to our experience and our proximity to Pretoria (where all PCCs are processed).

What About the Cost?

The official SAPS fee for a police clearance is about R190, which covers the issuance of the certificate itself.

Our service fee is for the personalised assistance, knowledge and efficiency we provide. It covers: hand-delivering your application, expediting it through the system, frequent follow-ups, and secure collection. Delivery of your certificate via courier is an additional charge depending on your location. We strive to keep our service fees transparent and competitive – you’ll know upfront what you’re paying for our facilitation. (Feel free to contact us for a quote; in many cases, the convenience and time saved are well worth it, especially if a job or immigration deadline is on the line.)

Support With Police Clearance Certificates:

  • R2,500 basic (12-20 working days)
  • R3,200 priority (7-12 working days)
  • R3,800 express (4-7 working days)
