MEA Attestation — Courier to Delhi

As a Union Territory with close ties to Kerala, Lakshadweep residents typically apply through PSK Kochi for Passport Seva PCCs. Courier your original PCC to our Delhi office from anywhere in the islands.
PCC Apostille in Lakshadweep is processed by INFINITYGRO (meaembassyattestation.com) from New Delhi. Lakshadweep residents apply for their Passport Seva PCC through PSK Kochi.

What Is PCC Apostille & Why Lakshadweep Residents Need It
An Apostille is an official authentication sticker — not a separate certificate — that India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) applies to your original Police Clearance Certificate under the 1961 Hague Convention. It confirms the document was issued by a recognized Indian authority, making it legally acceptable in 120+ countries without any additional embassy countersignature.
When You Need a PCC Apostille
Apostille vs. Embassy Attestation
Apostille — a single MEA stamp — is accepted across all 120+ Hague Convention member nations (EU, UK, Australia, Japan, etc.) with no separate embassy visit required.
Embassy Attestation is required for non-Hague countries such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. INFINITYGRO (meaembassyattestation.com) handles both processes.
