A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is a legal document provided by a Government Agency or the Police Department to Indian passport applicants and holders to confirm that the applicant has no criminal history. The police clearance certificate is mostly necessary for Indian nationals who wish to relocate to another country for the purpose of work, long-term stay, or residential stay. People travelling overseas on a tourist visa do not need to seek for a Police Clearance Certificate from Indian authorities.
