Obtaining Police Clearance from South Africa Abroad

Hi all!

 

So fun week, discovered that my husband's police clearance that was issued to him over two years ago by the South African government is no longer valid due to our 20 day trip to visit his family after we got engaged last year. Sooooo... any one have experience with attempting to get this thing while you are still living abroad? This came at an awkward time as my husband is visiting family in Canada and is currently stuck there due to this corona virus nonsense. He was under the impression he would have to go back to SA and go through the whole process in person (including waiting for 1-2 months for them to issue it... yuck). We would like to avoid it for economic reasons. If there are any services or methods you can recommend, it would be highly appreciated.

I guess it totally depends on the country, but my fiance lived in Dubai for a while, so we are able to request one from the UAE online. Not sure if South Africa would do the same?

Find exact instructions here.  Pretty sure RCMP can do the fingerprints just like a US police department would.
