About PCC Apostille & Attestation Services
A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) confirms you have no criminal record in India, and most immigration authorities abroad require it to be either apostilled (for Hague Convention countries like Canada, Germany, and most of Europe) or attested (for the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Oman) before they’ll accept it. This page covers both — how to get your PCC in the first place, and how to get it apostilled or attested afterward.
For anyone going through overseas employment, immigration programs, or a long-term residence permit process — this is not a step that can be skipped or worked around. Foreign immigration departments expect the apostille. Without it, the PCC does not even enter the process.

Statutory Authority
Official Legalization Framework & Consular Compliance
Under international consular law and Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) protocols, official documents executed in India require diplomatic authentication before being admitted by foreign governments, employers, or universities. For Hague Apostille member nations, central MEA apostille certification eliminates foreign embassy visits. For non-Hague destinations—including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and Oman—documents must complete the mandatory hierarchy of State (HRD/Home/SDM), MEA, and Embassy legalization.
