Swipe for all four
Before anything goes to SAPS, we go through your fingerprint form and supporting documents to reduce the risk of the application being sent back.
Your checked application goes to SAPS through us, so you do not have to hand it in yourself.
Each application has a SAPS reference number. We use it to follow yours and let you know where it stands.
Completed certificates are not emailed by SAPS. Once yours is issued, we collect the original and courier it to you anywhere in Gauteng.
Prestige Solutions handles your application and delivery; SAPS issues the certificate and determines processing time.
Have a full set of fingerprints taken by SAPS on the SAPS 91(a) form at a station near you, and take your original identity document or passport along. This is the one step that needs you in person.

Completed certificates commonly take one to six months from fingerprints to delivery, based on what our clients and enquirers report. SAPS determines the processing time and counts it from the date the centre has received all the required documents. Our part is the steps on either side, checking your application before it is submitted and collecting the certificate once it is issued.
SAPS does not process incomplete applications, and unclear fingerprints, name mismatches and missing documents are common reasons applications come back. We look for those before submission.
We submit your application and collect the finished certificate. Your only visit is to a police station for fingerprints.
If the country you are going to needs the certificate apostilled or attested, we can handle that as part of the same service.
You hear at the start whether your date is realistic, not once it has passed.
