Traditionally in order to acquire a Criminal Clearance Certificate, you need to visit your nearest Saps office and apply for one. The process involves fingerprinting and a small fee and it should take about 14 days for the process to be completed. However, in recent observations and complaints, one can wait for 8 to 14 weeks to receive the certificate due to undisclosed reasons including loadshedding, causing massive backlogs. As of writing, the 8 to 14 weeks has become an acceptable timeframe as you will be told at any saps offices to accommodate unforseen delays. This uncertainity is causing a lot of inconvenience for people who need the certificate urgently when it is required by an employer as part of their hiring policy.  NCRA has a quick solution for this headache. 

Introducing Criminal Clearance Certificate Service
You can get your criminal clearance certificate between 1 and 2 hours!

How So Fast?!
The application of advance technology has changed the traditional way of acquiring a Criminal Clearance Certificate in that it has cut out any paper work  and the nasty black ink and the lenghty manual transportation of documents. These have been replaced with smart-screen fingerprinting capturing devices and verification systems. The fingerprints are captured on a smart-screen and they are instantly transmitted to the AFIS (Automated Finger Identification System) to check/verify them against the Home Affairs and SAPS databases.
On average, your criminal clearance certificate can be available within 60 - 120 minutes. 

With this system you are also saved a trip to the saps office where there are usually long queues that can devour 1 hour to 2 hours of your time.
