Police Clearance Certificates & Criminal Record Expungement

If, however, the person does have a criminal record, the certificate will state that such records are displayed on the second page of the document. Even if the person has a record, the document is still valid, legal and can be used in applications requiring it. The Authority (e.g. a country’s Government/Consulate) viewing the police clearance certificate will decide if it has any meaning for them or not for the application (e.g. Work Visa).

A Police Clearance (South Africa) is available to anyone, whether they have been in the Country or not. It simply is a database check, by using names, other details and especially fingerprints, to see whether these details correlate with anyone on the South African criminal records database. Therefore, anyone, from any country, with any details, can apply for and obtain a South African police clearance.

The SAPS Criminal Record Centre (CRC), located in Pretoria, is where South Africans (and any other nationality as well) get their Clearance Certificates processed. We deal directly with the SAPS CRC and cut out any intermediaries (Embassies or Consulates) and applies for and collects documents directly from the source. This makes applications through us faster and more reliable.

 

How do I Remove or Expunge my Criminal Record?

You can apply for Expungement of your criminal record in terms of the Criminal Procedure Act, 1977, to the Director-General: Department of Justice and Constitutional Development. Expungement of a criminal record is a process by which a criminal record of a convicted offender is removed from the criminal record database of the Criminal Record Centre of the South African Police Service. This allows you to carry on with life without a criminal record being an obstruction to employment opportunities. Contact us for rules regarding Expungement.
