<\/strong>How to get Indian Police Clearance in India?<\/strong>

If you are currently living in India<\/strong>, the Indian PCC should be obtained from Indian Passport services.

If you are currently living outside India<\/strong> i.e. you are an NRI, then you should get Indian police clearance from Indian Embassy<\/a>.<\/p> <\/div>

How much is Indian PCC fees in India?<\/strong>

The Indian Police clearance fees is INR 500<\/strong> per person in India. Fees is non-refundable.<\/p> <\/div>

What is Indian PCC processing Time in India?<\/strong>

Indian police clearance certificate is issued the same day (1 day)<\/strong>\u00a0 on your visit to Indian passport office if there is no need for police verification.

If police verification<\/strong> is required, then it may take up-to 1 month<\/strong>. Indian PCC is issued after physical police visit to your address and a positive report.<\/p> <\/div>

Can i apply Indian PCC Online?<\/strong>

You can apply Indian PCC online but you will need to visit nearest regional passport office to get the physical copy of clearance certificate.

The RPO verifies your address proof too.<\/p> <\/div>

Can I apply PCC in India if I am living in Australia, USA or Canada?<\/strong>

You can apply PCC in India even if you are living outside India as an NRI.

Note that passport office will verify your current address proof and if you are not living in India, you will need to get police verification done at Indian address too.

My suggestion is to get Indian PCC from Indian embassy if your an NRI.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n

Police Verification in India<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Police verification is required if your current residence address is different than what is written in your current valid passport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1<\/strong> If your first passport was issued after 1 Jan 2005 and you apply for a certificate in 2012. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are currently residing at the same address as in the current passport, then you are issued the PCC on the same day of appointment in the passport office, without any new police verification.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2<\/strong> If your first passport was issued after 1 Jan 2005 and was renewed on 1 Jan 2015 with the same Indian address, then applying PCC any time until 31 Dec 2017 will not trigger any new Police verification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you apply for PCC anytime after 1 Jan 2018, there will be a physical police verification required, even if you have been staying at the same address.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police verification is valid for a period of 13 years, after which, a new one is required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
