What is Police Clearance Certificate?

Police Clearance Certificate is the process of getting your Police Clearance Certificate authenticated by a chain of government authorities — from the issuing state to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and finally the destination country's embassy in India. This multi-step verification confirms that your certificate is genuine and officially recognised by the foreign country.

Without proper attestation, your Police Clearance Certificate will not be accepted for employment visa, residency permit, or official use in UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, or Bahrain.

📌 Important

The attestation process and requirements differ for each destination country. UAE requires MOFA attestation after Embassy; Qatar and Kuwait have their own embassy processes. Our team ensures your Police Clearance Certificate follows the exact correct process for your specific destination country.
