About SAPS Criminal Record Centre Pretoria

The South African Police Service (SAPS) Criminal Record Centre (CRC) in Pretoria is the national facility responsible for processing and issuing all South African Police Clearance Certificates (PCC). The centre operates 15 hours a day, from 05:00 AM to 08:00 PM, Monday to Sunday. It requires applications to include a fully completed official form, an ink-printed set of fingerprints on a SAPS 91A form, a certified copy of an identity document or passport, and a non-refundable application. Processing at the facility takes approximately 15 working days once all correct documentation is received.
