Guide to Getting a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) in Jalandhar, Punjab

At Your Net Cafe, we simplify the Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) process for passport holders in Jalandhar and Punjab. A PCC is essential for employment, residency, or immigration abroad. Here’s a quick guide on applying for a PCC, required documents, and how we can help.

What is a PCC?

A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) confirms you have no criminal record. It’s required for Indian passport holders applying for long-term visas, residency, or jobs abroad. Issued after police verification, it’s typically valid for 3–6 months.

How to Apply for a PCC in Jalandhar

The PCC process is managed via the Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) in Jalandhar. Follow these steps:

1. Access the Passport Seva Portal
   Visit www.passportindia.gov.in. Log in or register.

2. Fill the PCC Form
   Select “Apply for Police Clearance Certificate” and enter details like name, passport number, and country for PCC use.

3. Pay the Fee
   The PCC fee is ₹500 (non-refundable). Pay online and note the Application Reference Number (ARN).

4. Book an Appointment
   Schedule a PSK appointment using the “Pay and Schedule Appointment” option. Slots fill fast, so book early.

5. Visit the PSK
   Bring required documents to the Jalandhar PSK. After verification and biometrics, police verification is initiated (7–30 days). If no verification is needed, the PCC may be issued same-day.

6. Receive the PCC
   Download your PCC from the portal using your ARN or collect it from the PSK.

Note: A valid passport is required. Reissue your passport if details have changed.
