A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is a crucial document verifying an individual's criminal record status. It is frequently required by foreign governments for visa, immigration, employment, or long-term residency approvals.

When Is PCC Attestation or Apostille Required?

• Applying for jobs abroad (especially in Gulf countries)
• Immigration and permanent residency procedures
• University admissions and student visa documentation
• Spouse/family visa applications
• Overseas marriage registration or adoption processes

Apostille vs. Embassy Attestation – What You Need to Know

Apostille is required when your destination country is part of the Hague Convention—such as Germany, France, Italy, or the Netherlands. This is completed by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and is valid without any embassy stamping.

For non-Hague countries like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait, you will need full Embassy Attestation after MEA processing.

PCC Attestation Process (India)

1. Attestation by Notary Public
2. Verification from State Home Department or SDM
3. MEA Apostille or Attestation
4. Embassy Attestation (if applicable)

Processing Time & Charges

⏱️ Turnaround Time: 5 to 12 working days
