What Is an Indian Police Clearance Certificate?
An Indian Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is an official certificate issued by the competent Indian authority following the applicable verification process.
It may be requested by Australian or overseas authorities when an Indian citizen is applying for matters such as:
- Australian permanent residency
- Australian citizenship
- Skilled migration
- Employment or professional registration
- Residence permits
- Long-term visas
- Immigration to another country
- Overseas employment
- Other immigration or government requirements
The exact requirement depends on the organisation or immigration authority requesting the certificate.
Who Can Apply for an Indian PCC from Australia?
This service is primarily designed for Indian citizens holding a valid Indian passport who are currently residing in Australia. Your PCC application is connected to your Indian passport particulars and may also involve verification of your present or previous address in India. If you hold a foreign passport, OCI card or previously held Indian citizenship, your application requirements may be different. Contact iVacs Australia so that the appropriate PCC procedure can be identified before you apply.

Indian PCC Application Process
Signature Process
For applicants located in the Sydney metropolitan area, you may be invited to the iVacs Australia Blacktown office to complete the required signatures and documentation.
Applicants outside Sydney can generally receive their prepared documentation by post for signing.
An additional AUD $20 postage charge applies where documents need to be posted to the applicant.
Return the Signed Documents
After signing, return the required documents to iVacs Australia in accordance with the instructions provided by our team.
We will conduct a further review before arranging the applicable submission process.
PCC Application Submission
The completed application is submitted through the applicable Indian consular/VFS process according to the applicant's jurisdiction and current submission requirements.
Applicants should be aware that Government, VFS and Indian Consulate requirements may change from time to time.
Police Verification and Government Processing
After submission, the application is processed by the relevant Indian authorities.
Police verification in India may be initiated where required.
The nature and duration of verification can depend on factors including:
- Passport records
- Indian residential address
- Previous police verification
- Passport issue history
- Changes in personal particulars
- Requirements of the relevant authority in India
PCC Issuance and Delivery
Once the competent Indian authority completes the application and approves issuance, the Police Clearance Certificate is issued and returned according to the applicable delivery arrangement.
Indian PCC Processing Time in Australia
There are two separate timeframes applicants should understand.
iVacs Australia Preparation Time
iVacs Australia generally requires approximately 2–3 business days after receiving:
- Complete documents
- Complete application information
- Applicable iVacs payment
This timeframe relates only to iVacs application preparation and processing.
Indian Government / Consulate Processing Time
Government processing may take approximately 1 to 3 months, depending on the individual application and any police verification required in India.
Some applications may be completed sooner, while others can take longer.
The timeframe is determined by the relevant Indian authorities and cannot be guaranteed by iVacs Australia.
Does Indian PCC Require Police Verification in India?
Police verification may be required as part of an Indian PCC application.
Where verification is initiated, the relevant police authority in India may verify the applicant's address or other information before the PCC can be issued.
Applicants should therefore ensure that the Indian address and other information supplied in the application are accurate.
Can I Apply for Indian PCC Online from Australia?
You can start and prepare the application online, but completing an online form alone does not necessarily complete the entire PCC process.
Supporting documents, signatures and the prescribed submission procedure must also be completed.
With iVacs Australia, you can begin by submitting your documents online and our PCC team will guide you through the remaining requirements.
Apply for Indian PCC from Anywhere in Australia
iVacs Australia assists applicants throughout:
You do not need to live near our Blacktown office to begin your application.
Indian PCC for Australian Permanent Residency
Indian passport holders applying for Australian permanent residency may be asked by the Department of Home Affairs to provide police certificates from countries in which they have lived for the relevant period.
Where an Indian PCC is required, applicants should apply early enough to allow for Indian Government processing and possible police verification.
Indian PCC for Australian Citizenship
An Indian Police Clearance Certificate may also be required in certain immigration or citizenship-related circumstances depending on an applicant's travel and residence history.
Always follow the specific document request issued by the relevant Australian authority.
Indian PCC for Employment and Overseas Migration
Indian PCCs are not limited to Australian migration applications.
Applicants may also require one for:
- Overseas employment
- Migration to Canada
- Migration to New Zealand
- Migration to the United States
- European residence applications
- Middle East employment
- Professional licensing
- Residence permits
- International visa applications
When completing the PCC application, the purpose and destination country should correspond with the reason for which the certificate is being requested.
What If My Indian Address Has Changed?
A change of Indian address does not necessarily prevent you from applying for a PCC.
However, address information is important because it may affect the verification process.
If your current or previous Indian address differs from the address recorded in your passport, additional information or supporting documentation may be required.
iVacs Australia can review the circumstances before preparing your application.
What If My Passport Was Recently Renewed?
You can still apply using your current valid Indian passport, subject to the applicable requirements.
Your previous passport or additional passport information may sometimes be relevant, particularly where personal particulars or addresses have changed.
Provide both current and previous passport information when requested by our team.
