Your Good Conduct Certificate Has a Validity Window

Most Good Conduct Certificates / Police Clearance Certificates (PCC) are accepted by embassies and visa authorities for only 3 to 6 months from the date of issue. Enter your issue date below to estimate how much of that window remains — and start attestation early so it doesn't lapse before your visa submission.

Understanding This Service

What Is Good Conduct Certificate Attestation?

A Good Conduct Certificate — also called a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) — is issued by your local police authority or by Passport Seva / a regional passport office, confirming you have no criminal record. It is one of the most frequently requested documents for long-term employment visas, residency permits, and work permit renewals abroad.

Good Conduct Certificate Attestation (as distinct from Apostille) is the legalization route required for non-Hague destinations — the certificate is authenticated by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and then legalized by the destination country's Embassy or Consulate in India.

  • MEA attestation followed by destination Embassy Attestation
  • Specialist handling for UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait & Oman
  • Guidance on your certificate's validity window before submission
  • Secure, trackable handling of your original PCC
Not Sure Which Route You Need?

If your destination is a Hague Convention member country, a simpler MEA Apostille is usually sufficient for your PCC instead of full Embassy Attestation — see our dedicated PCC Apostille service for that route.

If your destination is a non-Hague country — such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, or Oman — this Embassy Attestation service is the one you need, since these countries generally do not accept a plain Apostille for PCCs.

Who Needs This

How It Works

The Good Conduct Certificate Attestation Chain

2. MEA Attestation

The Ministry of External Affairs authenticates the certificate for use outside India.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

It is an official document, issued by the local police authority or by Passport Seva / a regional passport office, confirming that the applicant has no criminal record on file. It is one of the most commonly requested documents for long-term employment and residency visa applications, particularly for Gulf countries.

It depends on your destination country. If you're moving to a Hague Convention member country, a simpler MEA Apostille is usually sufficient — see our dedicated PCC Apostille service. However, for non-Hague destinations such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman, embassies specifically require full Embassy Attestation and, in most cases, do not accept a plain Apostille for PCCs. Our team will confirm the exact requirement for your destination before we begin.

Most receiving authorities and embassies accept a PCC for only 3 to 6 months from its date of issue. Because attestation itself takes several days, we strongly recommend starting the attestation process as early as possible after receiving your PCC, and always confirming the specific validity window your visa authority requires.

The certificate is first issued by the local police authority or Passport Seva / regional passport office. It then goes through Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) attestation, and finally through Embassy Attestation by the destination country's embassy or consulate in India — mandatory for non-Hague destinations.

We require the original Police Clearance Certificate / Good Conduct Certificate, a clear copy of the applicant's passport (front and back), and passport-size photographs, if requested by the destination embassy.

Cost depends on the destination country's embassy fees, MEA charges, and turnaround speed requested. Standard processing typically takes 5-9 working days; expedited/emergency processing is available for time-sensitive visa deadlines — share your travel date through the quote form for a same-day estimate.
