South African Police Clearance
We are Registered Migration Agents based in Perth, Western Australia and can assist you with a South African police clearance certificate.
As part of our migration service, we offer a third party service than can assist you with the process of applying for a South African police clearance certificate from the South African Police Service (SAPS). We do charge a service fee for this. Our service has assisted many clients all over the world with the process of applying for a South Africa Police Clearance check. These are usually used for Australian migration, Australian citizenship, and for migration to other countries.
PROCESSING TIME
The process usually takes approximately 8 weeks from submitting your application to the authorities. However as the South African Police Service (SAPS) may consult with external agencies, processing in some circumstances, may take longer than usual. The South African Police clearance certificate may disclose details of any offences previously committed by the applicant, and details of any sentences imposed. It may also disclose any other names that the applicant has been previously known by.
SERVICE PROVIDED
Our service includes providing you with the application and fingerprint forms, advising you where to go to have your fingerprints taken, and sending the application to our contact in Pretoria, and receiving your application back by courier service.
Our total service fee is AUD $572. (Unfortunately, the couriers have recently increased their fees 4 fold which has contributed significantly to this fee).
The fee includes the South African Police Check application fee, our service fee and any disbursements associated with your application. This includes sending the police clearance application to Pretoria and receiving it back by courier. We also monitor the status of your application with the SAPS to ensure that we are advised when it is complete and arrange payment of the SAPS processing fee and any associated bank charges.
Please refer to the full terms and conditions if you wish to use this service and contact us if you have any questions.
