Overview & regulatory basis
Even under the 2007 Rehabilitation Act, CID retains fingerprint records for 20 years. A professional agency coordinates the Certificate of Disposition from the originating provincial court to submit alongside the police clearance.
Documents required
- ✓ Thai ID + passport
- ✓ Case Black/Red number if known
- ✓ Power of attorney authorizing ILC to obtain court judgment
Legalization
MFA + destination embassy recommended to preempt RFEs.
Pitfalls to avoid
- ⚠️ Concealing history = lifetime misrepresentation ban in some countries (Australia s.501).
FAQ
- Rehabilitated—do I still disclose?
- Yes—the destination consulate applies its own law, not Thai.
- Do civil cases appear on the CID certificate?
- No—only criminal cases.
