Indian police clearance certificate (PCC)
Indian Police Clearance Certificate Translation for Australia
India's Police Clearance Certificate is applied for through Passport Seva in the Ministry of External Affairs context (passportindia.gov.in), with its own document requirements published separately (document advisor). A certificate issued by a state or district police service is a different record. We translate whichever you hold through a NAATI-certified translator at $59 per selected page, complete order within 24 hours.
Not every Indian police document is the same certificate
Australian requests often say "police certificate" without naming an issuer, and Indian states publish several separate police services. Read the heading and issuing office on the document you hold.
- The PCC applied for through Passport Seva sits in the Ministry of External Affairs context for Indian passport holders
- A state or district police PCC is issued locally and is not automatically the same coverage
- Punjab, for example, lists visa PCC, private-employee PCC and character verification as separate services (punjab.gov.in/forms)
- A character certificate, tenant verification or employee verification is not a police clearance certificate
- The Australian organisation receiving your documents decides which record and what coverage it requires
- Obtaining the certificate, having it authenticated and having it translated are separate steps
Issued by: Ministry of External Affairs through Passport Seva for Indian passport holders, and separately state or district police for their own certificates

NAATI Certification
How we translate an Indian police clearance certificate
Our NAATI-certified translators translate the certificate as issued: the issuing authority and office named on it, the file or reference number, the applicant details as recorded, the address or period the certificate covers, the statement of what the record shows, the date of issue and any signature, seal, QR code or verification panel. Names are reproduced as written on the document; give us your passport spelling at upload so any difference is flagged rather than smoothed over. Certificates issued wholly in English still often carry regional-script seals or annotations, and we translate those too. TransLingo translates the record you supply: we do not issue, obtain, verify, notarise or apostille Indian police records, and the organisation receiving your documents decides what it requires.
- Passport Seva PCCs and state or district police certificates
- Issuing office, reference number and covered period reproduced exactly
- Regional-script seals, endorsements and annotations translated
