A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is an official document issued by the Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) on behalf of the Indian government. It certifies that the applicant does not have any criminal record in India and is of good character. PCC is one of the most requested documents for Indian nationals seeking employment abroad, applying for permanent residency (PR), long-term visas, immigration, or higher education in foreign countries.
📄 Documents Required
Valid Indian Passport — original + self-attested photocopy (first and last page)
Aadhaar Card (address must be current)
Passport-size photographs — 2 nos.
Proof of purpose — employment letter, visa invitation, or foreign country's requirement letter (if applicable)
️ Important Restriction
Only ONE PCC appointment is allowed per year per applicant. If you miss your appointment or your PCC application is rejected, you will need to wait before reapplying. This makes proper documentation and preparation critical — which is exactly where our expert team helps.
