Thai Police Clearance + Translation + MFA + Embassy Legalization — One Package
We handle all four steps for you: request the Police Clearance Certificate at the Royal Thai Police HQ (Rama I Road) → certified translation by a registered MoJ/MFA translator → legalization at the Department of Consular Affairs (Chaeng Watthana) → attestation at the destination embassy. Total turnaround 10–15 business days, ideal for skilled-migrant visas, permanent residence, and marriage registration abroad.
What is the PCC Bundle and how does it differ from doing it yourself?
The PCC Bundle = Police Clearance Certificate + certified translation + MFA Certification + Embassy Legalization — completed in one package. You do not need to visit four separate offices (Royal Thai Police, MFA Chaeng Watthana, translator, embassy). NYC acts under power of attorney, completing the chain in 10–15 business days (vs. 25–40 days self-service), with an online status tracker at each step.

Frequently asked
Q.How long does the full bundle take?
10–15 business days: PCC issuance 5–7 days + translation 1–2 days + MFA 2–3 days + embassy 2–5 days depending on country. MFA Express option reduces total to 7–10 business days for an additional THB 500–1,500 per document.
Q.What does the bundle cost?
Standard package starts at THB 4,500 (includes Royal Thai Police fee THB 100 + English translation + MFA THB 200/page + service fee). Embassy legalization fees are destination-specific (typically THB 500–3,000). We quote per-destination before starting any work.
Q.Do I need to attend the Royal Thai Police HQ in person?
If your fingerprints are already on file, no — we act under power of attorney. If you have never been fingerprinted, one visit is required to RTP HQ (Rama I Rd., Mon–Fri 08:30–15:30) or to a provincial police station that can collect prints for forwarding.
Q.How long is a Thai PCC valid?
Destination embassies typically accept it for 3–6 months from issue date (UK/Australia: 12 months · US: 12 months · Schengen: 6 months). We recommend submitting your visa application within 60 days of issuance for safety.
Q.If my destination is an Apostille member, do I still need embassy attestation?
No — Thailand acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention on 8 November 2024. The MFA Apostille now replaces embassy legalization for 125 member states (including USA, Australia, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, etc.), saving time and cost.
Q.Where can a Thai PCC issued through NYC be used?
Every recipient that requests one: foreign embassies, foreign labour ministries, family courts, departments of consular affairs, private employers running background checks, and universities admitting PhD/Postdoc candidates.
