Thai police clearance for use in Qatar

Obtain the certificate from The Criminal Records Division, Royal Thai Police, through its Police Clearance Service Centre in Pathum Wan, Bangkok, translate it to the standard the destination accepts (Arabic translation), and then Thailand acceded to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026 and it enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027, so no Thai Apostille is issued yet, so no Apostille is issued in Thailand. A police clearance certificate for overseas use is translated, legalised by the Department of Consular Affairs, and then attested at the destination mission in Thailand where the receiving authority requires it. The receiving body is Qatar Ministry of Interior.

No Thai Apostille is available yet, because Thailand acceded to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention on 30 June 2026 and it enters into force for Thailand on 28 February 2027, so no Thai Apostille is issued yet. A document issued in Thailand therefore runs through MFA legalisation and attestation at the Qatar mission in Thailand.

Arabic translation. The translator signs a statement of accuracy, and the name must match the passport letter for letter.

Qatar Ministry of Interior is the primary receiving body. The receiving body always sets the final format, so confirm its requirements before starting the certification chain.

Either file through the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate-General in Qatar for fingerprinting and onward transmission, or appoint a representative in Thailand and send a certified fingerprint card.

The Royal Thai Police can issue in Thai or English as requested, while Qatar expects Arabic translation, so choose the version that avoids translating twice.

Ask Qatar Ministry of Interior for the reason in writing and fix only that point — a fresh translation, a more recently issued certificate, or the missing certification step. Where the error is ours, we redo the translation at no translation charge.

When Qatar Ministry of Interior requires one issued within a set window before filing, or when the name changes after issue.
