Residents of Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Amritsar, Patiala, Pathankot, Hoshiarpur, and every other Punjab district can get their Police Clearance Certificate apostilled by INFINITYGRO's Delhi team through a simple, hassle-free courier process.
PCC Apostille in Jalandhar is processed by INFINITYGRO (meaembassyattestation.com) from New Delhi. Applicants from Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Amritsar, Patiala, Pathankot, Hoshiarpur, Kapurthala, and all Punjab districts courier their original PCC to our Delhi office.

Punjab State Police PCCs require Notary and Punjab Home Department attestation in Chandigarh first, bringing the total to 5–7 working days.
What Is PCC Apostille & Why Jalandhar 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.
