What is a Thai PCC for use in Morocco?
A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is the official Thai record confirming whether you have a criminal record in Thailand. It is required by Morocco authorities for immigration visas · permanent residency · work permits · professional licensing · marriage registration · inter-country adoption.
For Morocco, the full legalisation chain is: CID (Royal Thai Police) → Certified Translation → MFA Legalization → Morocco Embassy in Bangkok → delivery.

Morocco is not party to (or does not accept) the Apostille Convention for Thai documents — the PCC must go through MFA legalisation and then the Morocco Embassy in Bangkok before shipping.
