Get your Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) Priority Service in Durban

For South Africans living, working, or travelling abroad, a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is a crucial legal document. It serves as proof that you have no criminal record in South Africa or provides a copy of your criminal record if applicable. This information is required by authorities for visa applications, residence permits, employment abroad, and legal compliance.

The Criminal Records and Crime Scene Management (CR & CSM) Division of the South African Police Service (SAPS) in Pretoria is the official issuing body for PCCs. Frenchside provides professional priority PCC application services, ensuring fast and efficient processing.
