The steps to apostille your Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) will be different depending on whether it was given by the local police, the Indian Embassy, or a Regional Passport Office (RPO). Here is the whole process
1) Notarization is Important for the PCC
The process will start with notarization, where a notary public will do the initial verification of your PCC. They will check the signature and your identity, and also check the PCC document. Once they are assured, they will stamp your PCC, and you can now move to the next step.
2) SDM / Home Department Verifies Your PCC
Here, the State Home Department (SHD) of the Indian state where your PCC was issued is in charge. Their role is to verify all personal documents, including PCC. In many cases, a Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) can also do the PCC verification. After your PCC get checked by SDM or the home department, you can move to the final stage.
3) MEA apostille of PCC
Now, you have to submit your PCC to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in Delhi for the national-level verification. Remember that your PCC must be verified by the state before taking it to the MEA. The officials at MEA will verify your PCC one last time and then put an apostille stamp on your PCC. Now, you can use your PCC in any country that is part of the Hague Convention.
To get an apostille on your PCC, it takes around 2 to 3 days, as many factors can come into play. This includes changes in government rules, holidays, a high volume of applications at the appropriate authorities, etc. The PCC apostille fees are 2000 to 3000 INR
A PCC Apostille is usually valid for 6 months. After that, you may need to get it re-apostilled.
Note: Some countries may accept older apostilles on PCC, but this varies from case to case. To know more, kindly contact our team.
The timeline varies depending on many factors, such as your purpose for getting a PCC and the volume of applications at the relevant authorities.
To get a PCC from the local police station, it takes 5 to 10 days.
For getting a PCC through Passport Seva Kendra, it will take 10 to 20 days.
Police Clearance Certificates (PCC) can be applied through both routes — the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) route & home department route. The SDM is usually faster than the home department route.
This depends upon your visa requirements. So it’s best to check the requirements based on the destination country. If you still have doubts, you can call us and we will guide you with the exact process
