PCC Attestation in Assam: MEA and Embassy Attestation for UAE, Qatar and Kuwait
PCC attestation in Assam for jobs and visas in countries that do not accept an apostille. We take the Police Clearance Certificate you already hold through MEA attestation and the embassy attestation of your destination country, and send it back to you anywhere in Assam.
What is PCC attestation in Assam?
PCC attestation in Assam is the legalisation of a Police Clearance Certificate issued to an Assam resident so that it is accepted in a country that is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention. The PCC is attested first by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and then by the embassy of the destination country, such as the UAE, Qatar or Kuwait.
A PCC issued by the passport office goes straight to MEA attestation; no notary or SDM stage is needed. INFINITYGRO handles the MEA and embassy stages from New Delhi, so you do not have to travel from Assam.
Does your country need PCC attestation or a PCC apostille?
The country where the PCC will be used decides the route. Check the HCCH status table if your country is not listed here.

5 mistakes that delay PCC attestation
Apostille for a non-Hague country
The UAE, Qatar and Kuwait refuse an apostilled PCC; they need attestation.
Name mismatch
The PCC must match your passport exactly, including the passport number.
Laminated PCC
Stamps cannot be fixed on lamination. Send the PCC as issued.
Old PCC
Employers often want a recent PCC; check the date they accept before attesting.
Wrong document
An Assam Police verification letter for a job in India is not a PCC and is not attested for abroad.
Looking for a police verification certificate in Assam?
A police verification letter for a job, tenant or domestic worker in India is issued by Assam Police through Assam Police Seva Setu, and a PCC for going abroad is issued through Passport Seva. INFINITYGRO does not apply for either; we attest or apostille the PCC once you have it.
FAQs: PCC attestation in Assam
What is PCC attestation in Assam?
PCC attestation in Assam means getting the Police Clearance Certificate issued to an Assam resident attested by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and then by the embassy of the country where it will be used. It is needed for countries that do not accept an apostille, such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait.
Which countries need PCC attestation instead of an apostille?
Countries outside the Hague Apostille Convention, for example the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Egypt, need MEA attestation followed by their embassy’s attestation. Hague countries such as Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain and most of Europe accept an MEA apostille instead, which is a separate service.
What is the process of PCC attestation for the UAE?
A PCC for the UAE now needs MEA attestation followed by UAE Embassy legalisation, which is done online. UAE MOFA attestation is no longer required for a PCC under the current update. INFINITYGRO completes both stages for you.
Do I need to come to Delhi for PCC attestation from Assam?
No. Courier the original PCC from Guwahati, Dibrugarh, Silchar, Jorhat or anywhere in Assam to our Delhi office. We complete the MEA and embassy stages and return it by Blue Dart or another secure courier. If you are in Delhi, you can drop it off and collect it at our office.
Does a PCC need notary or SDM attestation before MEA?
A PCC issued by the passport office goes straight to MEA attestation, so no notary or SDM stage is needed. We check your PCC when it arrives and tell you if anything is missing before we start.
How much does PCC attestation from Assam cost?
Our charge for a PCC is Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 plus the fee of the embassy concerned, which differs by country. Courier is extra. We confirm the total in writing before starting; the embassy fee is listed on each country’s fee page.
How long does PCC attestation take?
Usually about 5 to 8 working days after the PCC reaches our office, depending on the embassy. Add courier time from Assam and back.
Can INFINITYGRO apply for my PCC or police verification in Assam?
No. We start from the PCC you already hold. The PCC is issued by the passport office (Regional Passport Office, Guwahati) through Passport Seva, and police verification letters for jobs and tenants in India are issued by Assam Police on its Seva Setu portal.
Is PCC apostille the same as PCC attestation?
No. A PCC apostille is a single MEA sticker for Hague Convention countries. PCC attestation is MEA attestation plus the embassy’s stamp, for countries that do not accept an apostille. Tell us the country and we confirm which one you need.
My PCC has a spelling mismatch with my passport. Can it be attested?
The name and passport number on the PCC must match your passport. If they do not, ask the passport office to correct the PCC first, because the embassy may refuse a mismatched certificate.
