Police clearance from India

[Dwipal 50]

Does anyone know if police clearance is needed from last 5 years residence or just the local office?

The below link says to get passport clearance from local office. My wife lived in 3 different states within last 5 years. I want to know if she will have to get clearance from all three states.

found a 2nd website with more info. but i dont know which to believe.

http://www.***removed***/immigration/police-certificates.html

"IF the applicant is living in their country of nationality at their current residence for more than 6 months

AND is 16 years old or older

THEN the applicant needs a police certificate from the police authorities of that locality.

IF the applicant lived in a different part of their country of nationality for more than 6 months

AND was 16 years or older at that time

THEN the applicant needs a police certificate from the police authorities of that locality"

Hi. India matters. States does not matters. So no need to get PCC from all 3 diff states. Jus apply for PCC at the passport office where your wife's passport has been issued. Make sure if your wife is currently living in the address(which has been mentioned in visa papers and the same in the passport). If your wife living in the diff address(which has been mentioned in the visa papers) from the one which s in passport, You should change the address in passport ( by applying passport reissue). In that case, They will make u wait for completing the police enquiry on that particular address, it may take 30 to 60 days to issue the PCC.

My case,, My address in the passport and the address i mentioned in the visa papers are the same. So i jus got a PCC from where my passport has been issued. Police enquiry has done when i applied passport. So It was so easy to get PCC.

Note: I have lived in 2 different Districts in the same state(Tamilnadu). But that doesnot matter.

Non I migrants need Pcc from local police commissioner office
