What Is PCC Apostille & Why Shillong 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.

A clear, legible photocopy of the data page (front) and last page of your current, valid Indian passport. The image must not be blurred, cropped, or cut off at edges.
