What is a PCC?
PCC vs police character certificate
A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) for going abroad is issued through the Passport Seva system to Indian passport holders. It is different from a police character certificate, which your state police issue for jobs and tenders inside India.
| PCC (Passport Seva) | Police character certificate | |
|---|---|---|
| Used for | Jobs, visas, immigration abroad | Jobs, tenders, tenancy in India |
| Issued by | Passport office / Passport Seva | State police (online portal) |
| Attestation | Often MEA apostille or embassy | Usually not needed |
