Police Clearance Certificate Attestation

If you’re going to live, work, or study in the UAE, one document that you will need is an attested Police Clearance Certificate (PCC). This certificate essentially serves to show you don’t have a criminal record back in your home country. But here’s the catch—having the PCC alone isn’t sufficient. In order to use it legally in the UAE, you have to have it attested so they’re sure that it is authentic.

Why Do You Need PCC Attestation?

The government of the UAE insists on the attestation of the PCC to ensure your certificate is genuine and signed by proper officials in your home country. Regardless of whether you’re applying for a work visa, family visa, or business license, this attestation ensures the entire process is secure and reliable.

How to Get Your PCC Attested in India for the UAE

Getting your PCC attested has a couple of steps involved. Don’t worry, though—once you learn the steps, it’s easy:

1. Get Your PCC Issued
   First, get the PCC issued at your nearest police station or Passport Seva Kendra. This certificate pretty much says you’ve got a clean record.
   
   
2. Verification by the State Home Department
   Of course! Either the UAE Embassy in India or the official UAE government websites will assist you with the application. 
   
   
3. Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Attestation
   The MEA comes in next to further verify your PCC at the national level.
   
   
4. Final Attestation by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)
   Getting your PCC attested with MOFA is a must because that is the last step, and it is what officially completes the process of validating your PCC for use within the UAE.

How Long Does the Attestation Take?

It generally takes 7 to 15 working days on average. It is as fast as the speed of each office allows. If you don’t have time, there are usually quicker alternatives you can use to make it go faster.

What Documents Do You Need to Prepare?

To get your PCC attested easily, have these documents prepared:

• Your original Police Clearance Certificate
• Photos of your passport (first and last pages)
• A photocopy of your UAE visa (in case you have one)
• Passport photos
• An authorisation letter in case someone else is processing the attestation for you
