Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)

The PCC visas and employers demand — obtained without the runaround. A Police Clearance Certificate certifies you have no adverse criminal record and is required for immigration, long-term visas, overseas jobs and residency. Applied through the wrong channel, it stalls at police verification. NOS routes it correctly — passport-linked or state police — and manages verification.

Understand the service

What we can help with

A PCC is issued through the Passport Seva Kendra / Regional Passport Office (the national, passport-linked route), the Telangana i-Verify police or Andhra Pradesh police, or an Indian mission abroad — with a separate FRRO / MHA route for foreign nationals and OCI holders living in India. A clean case — a domestic PCC where your address matches your passport, or an NRI whose passport was issued abroad — is fixed-price. Others take more work: an address that differs from your passport (which triggers police verification), multiple addresses, an NRI whose passport was issued in India (a fresh verification is routed back home, ~6–8 weeks), or an identity correction. FIRs, pending court cases, prior convictions and court-directed matters are handled by an expert who follows the modern “disclose with remarks, don't blanket-refuse” approach — a mere FIR is not a bar. A PCC is not issued for tourist visas.

How it works on the ground

The government process is scattered across portals, offices and paperwork. NOS turns it into one guided flow.

The reality on the ground

What you face today

4 hurdles

Issued via the Passport Seva / MEA route or state police, depending on purpose and residence.

Address history and police verification are the main bottlenecks.

Requirements differ for residents vs applicants already abroad.

Coordinating Indian police verification from overseas is slow and opaque.

How it works

01
Step 1
Tell us what you need
A short questionnaire — where you are, your passport status, and whether your current address matches your passport. A domestic PCC with a matching address, or an NRI fast-lane case, is quick and fixed-price.
02
Step 2
Case Manager assigned
A dedicated Case Manager is assigned and you can message them before you pay. Address mismatches, multi-jurisdiction and NRI India-verification cases get a clear plan and price first.
03
Step 3
We route & coordinate
We work out the correct regime (Passport Seva / RPO, TG / AP police, or an Indian mission), prepare the application, and coordinate any police verification and embassy steps for you.
04
Step 4
Issued & tracked
Delivered
Every step is tracked in your dashboard against the issuing authority, with the PCC delivered to you in India or couriered abroad once issued.

What you'll typically need

A valid passport (a PCC is keyed to it — a name / DOB change must be fixed by re-issue first)
Address proof, and whether your current address matches your passport address
The destination country and purpose (a PCC is not issued for tourist visas)
If you're abroad: whether your passport was issued by the mission or in India

Not sure which route applies or whether you'll need police verification? Start the assessment — we'll work out the correct pathway, steps and timeline for you. Note: there is no official emergency PCC; priority handling buys diligence and coordination, not guaranteed speed.

Made for NRIs. No trips home. No local runaround. No language barrier. Manage the entire process from your phone, in your own timezone — while NOS handles the counters, the paperwork and the follow-ups.
