Extract From the Official SAPS Journal
No, this component does not have data processing systems that can pinpoint criminals as if by magic. If you are under that impression, you have been watching too many Hollywood-produced police series where all the necessary info seems to pop out at the mere press of a computer key. What this component can do, however, is offer invaluable support to investigating officers. This component also handles civilian-related duties such as issuing Clearance Certificates for South Africans who want to emigrate or work overseas.
Note from GMTM: If you look at the lead times for Police Clearance Certificates from the USA - the SAPS CRC does very well!!

The CRC Client Service Centre is responsible for:
A 24-hour service to all detectives and SAPS officials regarding information that is needed for investigation purposes.
All functions relating to the issuing of Police Clearance Certificates.

The issuing of Police Clearance Certificates

People who want to emigrate or work overseas, often ask police officials how they should go about acquiring the necessary Police Clearance Certificates. The next time this question is directed at you, you can whip out the following knowhow.

For a Police Clearance Certificate to be issued, the CRC Client Service Centre needs a full set of the applicant’s fingerprints on an SAPS 91(a) fingerprint form, which can be obtained at any police station. The applicant’s full names, surname, SA identity number and place ( town and country ) of birth must also be completed on the SAPS 91(a) form. Make sure that a receipt for the relevant fees paid, is attached to the application.
All applications must be accompanied by a certified copy of the applicant’s identity document or passport.
Clear, definite instructions must be given (verbally or in writing) as to by which means (eg; via post) the certificate must be sent to the applicant after completion.
All Police Clearance Certificates are issued in English only.
No temporary Police Clearance Certificates can be issued.
If the Certificate must be posted to the applicant, make sure that the address on the application is correct. Check that the full postal address (postal code included) has been provided.
The CRC Client Service Centre sends completed Clearance Certificates by surface mail only. Arrangements for any other means (for example courier services) must be made by applicants themselves, and the applicants must bear all costs.
Should an applicant want to make use of a courier service, he/she must first establish whether the Clearance Certificate is indeed ready to be collected.
(Telephone numbers for enquiries: (012) 393 3712/3/4/5)
Should an applicant want to enquire about his/her Police Clearance Certificate, he/she must always have his/her SA identity number handy. (All applicants are registered according to their SA identity numbers.)
The period of validity of a Police Clearance Certificate differs from country to country. It is the applicant’s responsibility to confirm the period of validity at the relevant country’s embassy.
Applications for Police Clearance Certificates are kept for 9 months after the date of issue, thereafter they are destroyed (re-issues can only be done during the abovementioned 9 months.
Usually only children of 14 years and older require a Police Clearance Certificate. (Once again it is the applicant’s responsibility to verify this with the relevant country’s embassy.)
OFFICE HOURS :

7:30 - 16:00Monday to Friday (Closed on Saturday and Sunday)
The processing of Police Clearance Certificates takes approximately 28 work days.
