A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is an official document issued by the Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) on behalf of the Indian government. It certifies that the applicant does not have any criminal record in India and is of good character. PCC is one of the most requested documents for Indian nationals seeking employment abroad, applying for permanent residency (PR), long-term visas, immigration, or higher education in foreign countries.
