PCC Apostille in Delhi
PCC apostille in Delhi for a job, studies or migration abroad. From Dwarka, Rohini, Laxmi Nagar or Saket, drop the police clearance certificate you already hold at our New Ashok Nagar office and collect it when it is ready, or courier it to us; we also return by Blue Dart.
PCC apostille in Delhi: quick answer
PCC apostille in Delhi is the MEA apostille sticker added to a Police Clearance Certificate so that it is accepted in countries that follow the Hague Apostille Convention. The MEA apostille is carried out in Delhi, so Delhi residents can simply hand the original PCC in at our New Ashok Nagar office and collect it there.
A PCC issued through Passport Seva by the Regional Passport Office Delhi goes straight to the MEA and is ready in 2–3 working days, for Rs 1,000–1,500 all-inclusive. A Delhi Police PCC or a police station certificate first needs notary and SDM attestation, which we arrange; it takes about 5–7 working days and costs a fixed Rs 1,500.
Who issued your Delhi PCC: RPO Delhi, a PSK or Delhi Police
Delhi residents usually hold a PCC from one of these offices, and each one decides the route:
| Passport office PCC | Regional Passport Office Delhi, which covers every district of Delhi |
|---|---|
| Passport Seva Kendras / POPSKs | Passport Seva Kendras at Jhandewalan, Defence Colony and Shalimar Place, Post Office Passport Seva Kendras at Janak Puri, Mehrauli, Nehru Place, Patparganj and Yamuna Vihar |
| Police station / district police certificate | Delhi Police PCC portal – an electronically signed PCC for Delhi residents, checkable by QR code; a police station certificate follows the same route |
| Living abroad | Delhi residents working abroad can use a PCC from the Indian Embassy or Consulate where they live; it goes directly to the MEA apostille. |
What matters for a PCC from Delhi
- Delhi residents can walk in. Bring the original PCC and a passport copy to C-5 A/2 New Ashok Nagar Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 7 PM, and collect it once the apostille is done. We do not offer home pickup.
- A Delhi Police PCC from the online portal carries an electronic signature and a QR code instead of a hand seal. Show it to us on WhatsApp or at the office first, so we can confirm how that printout will be attested before the apostille.
- Passport Seva PCCs for Delhi addresses are issued by RPO Delhi, whether the appointment was at PSK Jhandewalan, Defence Colony, Shalimar Place or a post office centre. Check the passport officer’s signature and seal before handing it in.
- Rented homes mean Delhi addresses change often. Check that the address on the PCC is the one your employer or embassy has on file, and that your name and passport number agree with your passport.
- Students and professionals from Delhi often need the PCC alongside an apostilled degree, birth certificate or marriage certificate for a dependant visa. Bring them in one visit and we track them as a single order.
PCC apostille process for Delhi: three routes
The route to an MEA apostille depends on who signed your PCC, not on where in Delhi you live. There are three possibilities.
Passport office PCC
Issued through Passport Seva by RPO Delhi. 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 Delhi 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 Delhi
Can I drop off and collect my PCC at your Delhi office?
Yes. Delhi residents can hand the original PCC and a passport copy in at our office at C-5 A/2 New Ashok Nagar, Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 7 PM, and collect it there once it is apostilled. We do not collect from homes, but you can also courier it to us.
What is the total fee for a PCC apostille in Delhi?
For a Passport Seva PCC the total is Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500, which already includes the Rs 50 MEA fee, the bank draft and our service. A Delhi Police or police station PCC costs a fixed Rs 1,500 because it is notarised and attested by the SDM first. There is no courier charge if you drop it off.
My PCC is from RPO Delhi. When will it be ready?
A PCC issued by RPO Delhi through Passport Seva usually takes 2 to 3 working days at the MEA after we receive it. If you drop it off and collect it in person, those working days are the whole wait, because there is no courier time to add.
Can a PCC from a police station in South West Delhi or Shahdara be apostilled?
Yes. A signed and sealed certificate from any Delhi police station, or a Delhi Police PCC from the online portal, is first notarised and attested by the SDM, which we arrange. The MEA then adds the apostille. Allow about 5 to 7 working days; the fee is a fixed Rs 1,500.
Can you apply for my Delhi Police PCC or my passport office PCC?
No. INFINITYGRO does not apply for, issue or speed up a PCC or police verification. You obtain the certificate yourself from Passport Seva or Delhi Police. Once you hold the original, we take care of the apostille or the attestation.
Part of my police certificate is in Hindi. Is that a problem?
No. The MEA apostilles the document in whatever language it is written in. Some countries then ask for a translation into English or their own language. INFINITYGRO translates into any language and can hand over the translation with the apostilled PCC.
Does a PCC for Qatar or the UAE get an apostille in Delhi?
No. Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE and Egypt do not accept an apostille. Their PCCs need MEA attestation followed by embassy legalisation. For the UAE that now means MEA attestation plus online UAE Embassy legalisation only; UAE MOFA attestation is not required for a PCC.
I am abroad and my PCC is with my family in Delhi. What should they do?
A family member can bring the original PCC and a copy of your passport to our office, or courier them. After the apostille we can hand it back to them in Delhi, or send it by courier directly to your address abroad.
