What documents are required for a Thai police clearance certificate used for a job application in Japan? — The Criminal Records Division of the Royal Thai Police (Chaeng Watthana) is the sole issuing authority for the Thai police clearance certificate. Japan is a party to the HCCH Apostille Convention, as Thailand will be with effect from 28 February 2027, so a Thai document bearing an Apostille from the Department of Consular Affairs is normally accepted without further embassy attestation unless the receiving body asks for it. For employment use, the employer or professional regulator sets the format — English version, or issued within a stated number of months — so obtain those requirements in writing first. Thai Notary Law prepares the file, lodges it, tracks progress and coordinates any translation or legalisation steps; the outcome remains at the discretion of the government agency.
