Information Regarding the Registration Requirement for a Police Clearance Certificate
29 August 2022
IRBA introduced a requirement for a SAPS Police Clearance as part of its registration requirements with effect from 1 April 2022.
Due to difficulties experienced by members the Board has approved a temporary deviation from the requirement for a Police Clearance Certificate up until 31 March 2023.
Applicants who have been unable to timeously obtain a Police Clearance Certificate may submit a criminal check report issued by a credible service provider, on condition that:
- Such applicants must ensure that a valid Police Clearance Certificate issued by SAPS is submitted to the IRBA within six months of their registration; and
- Failure to submit a valid Police Clearance Certificate issued by the SAPS within the stipulated time frame will result in the revocation of registration.
