South African Police Clearance Certificate
A South African Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is an official document issued by the South African Police Service (SAPS). It confirms whether an individual has any criminal record within South Africa.
The PCC is typically required for various purposes, such as:
- Emigration or immigration applications
-
Work and residence visas for foreign countries
-
Job applications that require a background check
-
Adoption processes
-
Visa renewals or other legal proceedings
To obtain a PCC, fingerprints are taken, and a thorough criminal background check is conducted. If no criminal record is found, the certificate confirms a clear status.
Requirements
- Your fingerprints
-
Two copies of your ID or passport
-
The country where the PCC will be used
-
A marriage certificate (if you need both your maiden and married surname to appear on the PCC)
