PCC Apostille in Kanpur | INFINITYGRO
Quick Answer

PCC Apostille in Kanpur is processed by INFINITYGRO (meaembassyattestation.com) from New Delhi. Applicants from Kanpur, Fatehpur, Hamirpur, Banda, and surrounding western UP districts courier their original PCC to our Delhi office. PSK Kanpur-issued PCCs are apostilled in 2–3 working days. UP Police PCCs require Notary and UP Home Department attestation in Lucknow first, totalling 5–7 working days.

Understanding the Process

What Is PCC Apostille & Why Kanpur Residents Need It

An Apostille is an official authentication sticker — not a separate certificate — that India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) applies to your original Police Clearance Certificate under the 1961 Hague Convention. It confirms the document was issued by a recognized Indian authority, making it legally acceptable in 120+ countries without any additional embassy countersignature.

When You Need a PCC Apostille

Work visa or employment permit for Germany, Netherlands, France, Italy, or other Hague member countries
Student visa or university admission in Europe, Australia, or the UK
Spouse or dependent visa applications requiring character clearance
Permanent residency (PR) applications in Australia, New Zealand, or Canada
International background screening by European or Asia-Pacific employers

Apostille vs. Embassy Attestation

Apostille — a single MEA stamp — is accepted across all 120+ Hague Convention member nations (EU, UK, Australia, Japan, etc.) with no separate embassy visit required.

Embassy Attestation is required for non-Hague countries such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. INFINITYGRO (meaembassyattestation.com) handles both processes.

No travel to Delhi required
3

MEA Submission — Apostille Sticker Applied

INFINITYGRO submits your PCC to the Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi (ref: mea.gov.in). MEA verifies the issuing authority’s seal and signature, then affixes the official Apostille sticker to the reverse of your original certificate. The sticker carries a unique serial number and QR code — scan it with any smartphone to verify authenticity instantly.

4

Apostilled PCC Returned to Your Kanpur Address

Once the Apostille is complete, we dispatch the document dispatched to your Kanpur, Fatehpur, Hamirpur, Banda, or any western UP address — with a courier tracking number shared immediately.

Live tracking at every stage

Processing time: 2–3 working days after document receipt at our Delhi office.

Route 2 — PCC Issued by Uttar Pradesh State Police

PCCs from Uttar Pradesh State Police must pass two local authentication steps — notarisation and State Home Department / SDM attestation — before qualifying for MEA Apostille. Both are completed locally before the document is couriered to Delhi.

1

Obtain PCC from Uttar Pradesh State Police

Apply to your district’s SP / CP office. Reference contacts via the official uppolice.gov.in portal.

2

Notarisation by a Registered Notary Public

A government-registered Notary Public in your city certifies that the PCC was genuinely issued by Uttar Pradesh Police and that the SP’s signature is authentic. This is the first mandatory authentication step.

Mandatory for all Uttar Pradesh State Police PCCs
3

Uttar Pradesh Home Department, Lucknow Attestation

The notarised PCC is submitted to the Uttar Pradesh Home Department in Lucknow for state-level authentication.

State-level mandatory step
4

Courier Attested PCC to INFINITYGRO, Delhi

Once the document carries both the Notary seal and the Home Department / SDM attestation, courier it to our Delhi office with a clear passport photocopy. Confirm our dispatch address via phone or WhatsApp before sending.

No further state steps required
5

MEA Apostille + Return Delivery to Kanpur

INFINITYGRO submits the fully attested PCC to MEA in Delhi. After the Apostille sticker is applied, we dispatch the document back to your Kanpur address with full courier tracking.

Live tracking at every stage

Processing time: 5–7 working days after Notary + Home Dept steps are complete and document reaches Delhi.

Route 3 — PCC Issued by an Indian Embassy or Consulate Abroad (NRI)

NRIs from Kanpur whose PCC was issued by an Indian Embassy or Consulate overseas can have it apostilled via the same Delhi courier model. No state-level step is required.

1

Obtain PCC from the Indian Embassy / Consulate Abroad

Apply to the nearest Indian Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence. The certificate carries the Embassy’s official stamp and a consular officer’s signature.

2

Courier PCC to INFINITYGRO, Delhi

A family contact in Kanpur can receive the document and courier it to us, or the applicant can send it directly from abroad. Include a clear passport photocopy (front and back).

No Notary or Home Dept step required
