Based on what our clients and enquirers report, completed certificates commonly take one to six months from fingerprints to delivery. SAPS determines the processing time, whichever Cape Town station takes your fingerprints. We manage the steps around it, checking your application before it is submitted and collecting your certificate once it is issued.
The team you speak to checks, submits and tracks your application and arranges delivery, so you deal with the same people from start to finish.
Weak fingerprints, name mismatches and incomplete applications are common reasons applications are sent back. We check for them before submission.

We tell you at the start whether your date is realistic, rather than after the fact.
Practical answers to what Cape Town applicants ask us most.
At a SAPS station. SAPS requires a full set on the SAPS 91(a) form, taken by the South African Police Service, and you must present your identity document or passport. Phone the station ahead to check someone is available to take them.
