This is a direction on obtaining police clearance certificates from South Africa

Police clearance certificates may be acquired from any police station. Fingerprints are also done at the police station and then they forward them to the Central Registry. If you live close to Pretoria or if you are willing to travel, you may take the forms in yourself. They will hand you a receipt, indication time and date of collection. Usually within 40 days. They will NOT take your fingerprints at the Central Registry. You MUST have fingerprints taken at (any) police station prior to approaching the CR. It costs R 54 - and you must take the correct money with you - in cash.

You must submit the following:
•        2 Passport size photographs
•        South African identity document
•        Application form
•        Fees of R 54
