A PCC Apostille is an official authentication sticker applied by India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to your original Police Clearance Certificate under the 1961 Hague Convention. It certifies that your PCC was issued by a recognized Indian authority and is therefore legally accepted in 120+ Hague member countries without any additional embassy verification. Every Apostille sticker carries a unique serial number and QR code for instant digital verification.

Anyone relocating to a Hague Convention member country needs a PCC Apostille, including: (1) Work visa or employment permit applicants for Germany, Netherlands, France, Italy, UK, Australia, etc. (2) Students applying to European and Australian universities. (3) PR applicants in Australia, Canada, or New Zealand. (4) Spouse or family visa applicants. (5) Individuals undergoing international employer background checks.

For a Passport Seva (PSK) PCC: Apply online at passportindia.gov.in → collect PCC → courier original + passport copy to INFINITYGRO, Delhi → we submit to MEA → Apostille applied → return courier to your address.

For a State Police PCC: Obtain PCC from SP office → Notarisation → State Home Department / SDM attestation → courier to INFINITYGRO, Delhi → MEA Apostille → return delivery.

Passport Seva (PSK) PCCs are apostilled in 2–3 working days after receipt at our Delhi office. State Police PCCs, which require additional Notary and Home Department attestation steps (completed locally), take 5–7 working days total. Indian Embassy-issued PCCs take 2–4 working days.

All 120+ member nations of the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention accept MEA-apostilled Indian PCCs, including Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, and more. Countries outside the Convention — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, China — require Embassy Attestation instead.

No. INFINITYGRO’s service is 100% courier-based and serves all Indian states and UTs. You simply courier your original PCC from anywhere in India to our New Delhi office. We complete the MEA Apostille and return the certified document to your doorstep with live tracking. No personal visit to Delhi is required at any stage.

For a PSK PCC: (1) Original PCC — physical document, not a photocopy. (2) Passport photocopy — front and back data pages. For a State Police PCC, additionally include: (3) Notary certificate. (4) State Home Department / SDM attestation. Important: Remove any lamination before sending — the Apostille sticker cannot bond to plastic.

PCC Apostille (MEA stamp) is a single certification accepted in all 120+ Hague Convention countries — no embassy visit needed. Embassy Attestation is a separate multi-step process required for non-Hague countries like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain — it involves MEA attestation plus a stamp from that country’s embassy in India. INFINITYGRO handles both processes for all destinations.

Every MEA Apostille sticker carries a unique serial number and a QR code printed directly on it. Simply scan the QR code with any smartphone camera to instantly verify the apostille’s authenticity — no app, account, or website needed. The receiving embassy, employer, or university can do the same verification using the same QR code.
