How to Get a SAPS Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) – Fast and Stress-Free
Need a South African Police Clearance Certificate for work, study, or immigration? The process can be slow and frustrating—especially from abroad—but SaffaGlobal Ally is here to simplify it. We work directly with the SAPS Criminal Record Centre (CRC) in Pretoria to fast-track your Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) without relying on embassies or third-party middlemen. Whether you're in South Africa or abroad (e.g. the UK, Australia, New Zealand), we can assist you with an urgent, reliable, and legally valid SAPS clearance.
What Is a SAPS Police Clearance Certificate?
A PCC confirms whether or not you have a criminal record in South Africa. It is an official, stamped document issued by SAPS, used for visa, work, or residency applications. Even if you have a record, the certificate remains valid—it's up to the requesting authority to decide its relevance.
What You Need to Apply
- Completed SAPS Police Clearance Application Form (91a)
- Clear set of fingerprints (can be taken at any police station or accredited fingerprint service)
- Certified copy of your ID or passport
- Full names, surname, date and place of birth on fingerprint form
Abroad? No Problem.
You can scan your fingerprint form and documents to us by email. We handle the rest. Courier return is available globally.
