PRETORIA – The Management of the South African Police Service (SAPS) confirms that its Criminal Record Centre (CRC) Headquarters which is situated in Pretoria, Gauteng, is fully functional and operational.

The SAPS thus confirms that it is business as usual and that the administering of criminal records, issuing of police clearance certificates as well as processing of fingerprint applications for firearms has commenced.

Members of the public are therefore advised that they are now able to drop off and collect their documents at the building.

The SAPS acknowledges the inconvenience caused by the closure of the building since last week Tuesday, and takes this opportunity to thank members of the public for their patience and understanding.
