PCC Apostille in Bhubaneswar
PCC apostille in Bhubaneswar for an overseas job, university admission or family visa. Whether you live in Patia, Saheed Nagar, Chandrasekharpur or Old Town, courier the police clearance certificate you already hold to our Delhi office; we obtain the MEA apostille and return it by Blue Dart.
PCC apostille in Bhubaneswar: quick answer
PCC apostille in Bhubaneswar is the MEA apostille on a Police Clearance Certificate held by someone living in the city, so that Hague Convention countries such as the UK, Canada or South Korea accept it directly. The Regional Passport Office is in Bhubaneswar itself, but we handle the apostille in Delhi and the PCC reaches us by courier.
A PCC issued through Passport Seva by RPO Bhubaneswar goes straight to the MEA and is usually apostilled in 2–3 working days for Rs 1,000–1,500 all-inclusive. A certificate signed by a city police station, or by an SP office elsewhere in Khordha district, needs notary and SDM attestation in Delhi first, which we arrange: about 5–7 working days, Rs 1,500 fixed.
Bhubaneswar PCC: RPO and PSK in the city, or the Commissionerate police
For people living in Bhubaneswar, the PCC is usually signed by one of these offices:
| Passport office PCC | Regional Passport Office Bhubaneswar, which serves the Bhubaneswar Urban police district and the rest of Odisha |
|---|---|
| Passport Seva Kendras / POPSKs | Passport Seva Kendra Bhubaneswar, Post Office Passport Seva Kendras in nearby towns such as Cuttack and Puri |
| Police station / district police certificate | Your local police station or district SP office – a signed and sealed police clearance or character certificate |
| Living abroad | Bhubaneswar residents who have moved abroad for work or study can get a PCC from the Indian Embassy or Consulate there; it goes straight to the MEA. |
What matters for a PCC from Bhubaneswar
- Having the passport office in your own city does not change the apostille step. A Bhubaneswar PCC still has to reach our Delhi office, by courier or by hand, before we can file it for the MEA apostille.
- City police stations in Bhubaneswar come under the Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Police Commissionerate. A certificate signed there is a police PCC and follows the notary and SDM route, not the direct passport office route.
- If you are going abroad for a master’s degree or an IT job, the university or employer may also ask for your B.Tech, MBA or marksheet apostille. Send them with the PCC and we file them together.
- A PCC printed partly in Odia, or carrying Odia stamps, is apostilled as it is. Embassies in Europe and East Asia usually want a translation as well, which INFINITYGRO can add after the apostille.
- Some employers and immigration offices accept a PCC only for a few months. If your Bhubaneswar PCC is close to that limit, tell us when you send it; a Passport Seva PCC is apostilled within 2 to 3 working days of arrival.
PCC apostille process for Bhubaneswar: three routes
The route to an MEA apostille depends on who signed your PCC, not on where in Bhubaneswar you live. There are three possibilities.
Passport office PCC
Issued through Passport Seva by RPO Bhubaneswar. It goes straight to the MEA apostille, with no state step. Usually 2–3 working days after it reaches us.
Police station PCC
Signed by your local police station or district SP office. We get it notarised and attested by the SDM in Delhi, then apostilled by the MEA. Usually 5–7 working days.
Indian Embassy PCC
For residents of Bhubaneswar now living abroad, the PCC issued by an Indian Embassy or Consulate goes straight to the MEA apostille. Usually 2–4 working days.

FAQs: PCC apostille in Bhubaneswar
The passport office is in Bhubaneswar. Why does my PCC go to Delhi?
The passport office issues the PCC, but the apostille is added by the Ministry of External Affairs, and INFINITYGRO handles that step in Delhi. Courier the original PCC and a passport copy to us; we return the apostilled certificate by Blue Dart or another secure courier.
What is the price of a PCC apostille in Bhubaneswar?
Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 all-inclusive for a Passport Seva PCC, including the Rs 50 MEA fee, the bank draft and our service. A police station or SP office certificate is a fixed Rs 1,500 because it also needs notary and SDM attestation in Delhi. Courier is extra.
How fast can an RPO Bhubaneswar PCC be apostilled?
Usually in 2 to 3 working days from the day it reaches our Delhi office, because a passport office PCC goes straight to the MEA. Courier from Bhubaneswar takes about two to four days in each direction, so plan for both legs.
My certificate is from a Commissionerate police station in Bhubaneswar. Can it be apostilled?
Yes. A certificate from a city police station, or from an SP office in Khordha or Cuttack district, is first notarised and attested by the SDM in Delhi. We arrange both and then file it for the MEA apostille. It takes about 5 to 7 working days for Rs 1,500 fixed.
Can you get my PCC issued faster at PSK Bhubaneswar?
No. INFINITYGRO does not apply for, issue or speed up a PCC or police verification, at the PSK or anywhere else. That is for the passport office and the police. We begin only when you hold the signed PCC and know the destination country.
My university in France wants the PCC in French. Can you help?
Yes. After the MEA apostille, INFINITYGRO can translate the PCC into French or any other language the university or embassy needs. We send the translation back with the apostilled certificate in one courier. Check first whether the university accepts a translation made in India.
Do I need a PCC apostille for a job in Saudi Arabia or in the UAE?
Saudi Arabia is a Hague Convention member, so an apostille is the right service there. The UAE, Qatar and Kuwait do not accept it; a PCC for them needs MEA attestation and embassy legalisation. For the UAE that is now MEA attestation and online UAE Embassy legalisation only.
Can my spouse in Bhubaneswar courier my PCC while I am already abroad?
Yes. Your spouse or another family member can send the original PCC with a copy of your passport. We return the apostilled certificate to their Bhubaneswar address or courier it to you overseas. Share their phone number so the courier can reach them.
