PCC - New Delhi, India - Need info ASAP

[dilbert30 0]

Hi all - Need infor from folkss sho have gone thro' this in India. If possible from the Delhi passport office

My fiancee's parents went to the Delhi passport office to obtain PCC and they have told the parents that the daughter needs to be present in person. is that correct?

Also, they have mentioned that the PCC will be issued in 1 day from the PP office. Her passport was NOT renewed or issued in the last 6 months.

I am finding some inconsistencies between what is posted here (i.e., 1 month for PCC from passport office vs. one day). Any one have any experience?

Thank you. My fiancee is trying to book her tickets to go to Delhi and would appreciate some quick response. Thanks.

Police Records

Indian Police Clearance Certificates should be obtained as follows:

All Indian IV applicants aged 16 and above, residing in India, should obtain police certificates from the local Passport Office. These are usually more dependable than those obtained at a local level and indicate that the subject had no serious criminal convictions on record at the time of passport issuance. Applicants whose Indian passport was issued within the past six months may present just the Passport Office Police Certificate, and need not obtain additional police clearances.

Applicants over age 16, whose passports were issued more than six months previous to visa application, must also obtain a police clearance from the District Police Office serving the applicant's place of residence.

Indian passport holders applying for visas outside India should obtain a statement from their local embassy or consulate confirming they have no criminal record.

Non-Indian IV applicants residing in India should obtain police certificates from the District Police Station serving their area of residence.

Indian police certificates are not available for foreign (non-Indian) applicants applying outside India.

Yes it is correct that your wife needs to be present at the time of obtaining the PCC from the passport office at Delhi.My wife had hers done in like 2/3 days.She will need to sign a document when they issue her certificate from the passport office.If her passport was issued in delhi then she has to apply for a cerificate from delhi itself, does not matter if it was not issued or renewed in 6 months.

Good luck.
