Thai police clearance certificate with an official fingerprint card

Police clearance certificate for a driver and logistics worker

Quick answer

the transport employer and the destination licensing body normally asks for this record. The file usually includes the driving licence, contract and passport, and the issuing body is The Criminal Records Division, Royal Thai Police, through its Police Clearance Service Centre in Pathum Wan, Bangkok. The main caution: the licence translation and the police certificate must use one consistent spelling of the name.

The legalisation fact

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.
