Police clearance certificate for a banking and financial-services professional

When the financial institution and its regulator requires it as part of the assessment. The certificate is issued by The Criminal Records Division, Royal Thai Police, through its Police Clearance Service Centre in Pathum Wan, Bangkok.

Besides identity documents and the fingerprint card, this group usually files work references, qualifications and any investment-adviser licence.

There is one issuing office: The Criminal Records Division, Royal Thai Police, through its Police Clearance Service Centre in Pathum Wan, Bangkok. Applicants upcountry may be fingerprinted locally and file through an authorised representative.

Fingerprints are taken at a Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate-General, or by a local police authority in the form the mission accepts, then the set is sent to Thailand for filing.

In short, for use inside Thailand the certificate is accepted as issued, unless the receiving body asks for more.

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.

Most often a name spelling that does not match the passport, then unclear fingerprints, and fit-and-proper reviews read the employment timeline alongside the police record.

Into the official language of the destination or English, as the receiver specifies. Confirm with the financial institution and its regulator before ordering the translation.

Yes, with a power of attorney and ID copies of both parties, but the fingerprints must always be taken from the applicant in person.

As soon as the requirement is known: fingerprinting, filing, certified translation, consular legalisation and embassy attestation each have their own queue. We do not promise government turnaround times.
