South African Police Clearance Certificates

What is a police clearance certificate

A police clearance certificate is a certificate stating whether any criminal offenses are recorded against the applicant.

It is most often required for people who need confirmation of their criminal status for emigration purposes or for working abroad.

How Long does it take

The SAPS’s Criminal Record Centre in Pretoria request 14 working days to issue a police clearance certificate, however they are currently experiencing a backlog of 52000 applications resulting in a wait of between 3 and 6 months
