PCC Apostille in Gulbarga
PCC apostille in Gulbarga (Kalaburagi) for jobs and visas abroad. Courier the police clearance certificate you already hold from Kalaburagi city, Bidar, Yadgir or Raichur to our Delhi office. We obtain the MEA apostille and send the PCC back to you by Blue Dart.
PCC apostille in Gulbarga: quick answer
PCC apostille in Gulbarga is the MEA apostille on a Police Clearance Certificate held by a resident of Kalaburagi or the neighbouring districts of north Karnataka. Hague Convention countries, including Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UK and the USA, accept a PCC with this sticker without further embassy steps. The certificate comes to us by courier.
A Passport Seva PCC for a Kalaburagi address is issued by RPO Bengaluru. It goes straight to the MEA and is normally apostilled in 2–3 working days for Rs 1,000–1,500 all-inclusive. A certificate from a Kalaburagi police station or the district SP office first needs notary and SDM attestation in Delhi, arranged by us, for a fixed Rs 1,500 and about 5–7 working days.
Kalaburagi PCC: who issued it and which route it takes
Your certificate will carry the seal of one of these offices, and that seal sets the route:
| Passport office PCC | Regional Passport Office Bengaluru, which serves Kalaburagi along with Bidar, Yadgir, Raichur and every other Karnataka district |
|---|---|
| Passport Seva Kendras / POPSKs | Passport Seva Laghu Kendra at the Head Post Office complex, Kalaburagi, Post Office Passport Seva Kendras in nearby district towns such as Bidar, Raichur and Vijayapura |
| Police station / district police certificate | Your local police station or district SP office – a signed and sealed police clearance or character certificate |
| Living abroad | Kalaburagi residents already working in Saudi Arabia, elsewhere in the Gulf or further afield can get a PCC from the Indian Embassy or Consulate there; that PCC goes straight to the MEA. |
What matters for a PCC from Gulbarga
- Applying at the Kalaburagi Passport Seva Laghu Kendra still gives you a Passport Seva PCC from RPO Bengaluru. It goes straight to the MEA, without the notary and SDM steps a police station certificate needs.
- Police certificates from stations in Kalaburagi, Bidar or Yadgir may be typed in Kannada. The MEA apostilles them as issued; if the destination asks, we can translate the PCC into English, Arabic or another language.
- If your job is in the Gulf, check the country first. Saudi Arabia, Oman and Bahrain accept an apostille, but the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait need MEA attestation and an embassy stamp, so name the country when you contact us.
- Some records use the older name Gulbarga and others Kalaburagi. Either spelling of the town in your address is fine for the apostille, but your own name on the PCC must match the passport exactly.
- Graduates from Kalaburagi going abroad for study or work may need the PCC with an apostilled degree, diploma or birth certificate. We can apostille all of them from one courier and return them together.
PCC apostille process for Gulbarga: three routes
Every PCC held by a resident of Gulbarga comes from one of three places, and the place decides the route to the MEA apostille.
Passport office PCC
Issued through Passport Seva by RPO Bengaluru. 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 Gulbarga 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 Gulbarga
I live in Kalaburagi. Can the whole PCC apostille be done by post?
Yes. Courier the original PCC and a passport copy to our Delhi office from Kalaburagi or any nearby town. We complete the MEA apostille and return the certificate by Blue Dart or another secure courier, so you do not travel to Delhi or Bengaluru.
How much does a Gulbarga PCC apostille cost?
A PCC issued through Passport Seva costs Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 in total, including the Rs 50 MEA fee, the bank draft and our service. A police station or SP office PCC is a fixed Rs 1,500, with notary and SDM attestation. Courier is extra.
My PCC was issued by RPO Bengaluru for a Kalaburagi address. How long is the apostille?
About 2 to 3 working days after the PCC reaches us in Delhi. Courier between Kalaburagi and Delhi adds two to four days in each direction, so leave enough time before a visa stamping or joining date abroad. We confirm the date on WhatsApp.
Can a police station PCC from Bidar district be apostilled through you?
Yes. A certificate from a Bidar police station or the district SP office is notarised and attested by the SDM in Delhi, which we arrange, and then the MEA adds the apostille. This takes about 5 to 7 working days for a fixed Rs 1,500.
Can you get a PCC made for me at the Kalaburagi passport kendra?
No. INFINITYGRO does not apply for, issue or speed up a PCC or police verification at Kalaburagi or any other centre. Please obtain the certificate yourself; we then apostille or attest it for the country you are going to. We also do not book appointments.
My PCC from Gulbarga is in Kannada. Will Saudi Arabia need a translation?
The MEA apostilles the Kannada PCC as it is. Your Saudi employer or visa agent may ask for an Arabic or English translation, so check their list. INFINITYGRO provides translation into Arabic, English and every other language. We return the translation with the original.
My visa is for Qatar. Do I need apostille or attestation for my Kalaburagi PCC?
Attestation. Qatar is not in the Apostille Convention, so the PCC needs MEA attestation and then Qatar Embassy attestation. Kuwait and Egypt follow the same route. For the UAE, a PCC now needs MEA attestation and online UAE Embassy legalisation only.
I am already working in Riyadh. Can my family in Kalaburagi send my PCC?
Yes. A family member can courier the original PCC and a copy of your passport to our Delhi office. We send the apostilled PCC back to them in Kalaburagi or courier it to you in Saudi Arabia, as you prefer.
