In almost every immigration process, the outcome is determined long before a visa interview or application review by one document: the Police Clearance Certificate. For South Africans moving abroad, this document is not just a formality — it is a legal instrument that links the applicant’s past to their future immigration status.
Although it is a non-negotiable step for immigration the application process is notorious for its delays and hidden pitfalls.
At Global Apostille, we have streamlined the PCC application process to make it seamless and stress-free. Our seven-day Police Clearance Certificate for Immigration service streamlines the process to ensure a smooth application.
What is an SAPS Police Clearance Certificate ?
In South Africa, a Police Clearance Certificate is an official document issued by the South African Police Service (SAPS). It is used to verify whether a visa, residency or citizenship applicant is inadmissible to a country for any reason. The document provides to the relevant authorities with a copy of an applicant’s criminal record or confirm that they do not have one.
Generally, principal immigration applicants and any family members over the age of 18 may need to obtain a police clearance certificate. Although this ultimately depends on the immigration programme to which you are applying.
