PCC Apostille in Nagaland
PCC apostille in Nagaland for overseas work, study or settlement. Courier the police clearance certificate you hold from Kohima, Dimapur, Mokokchung or Wokha to our Delhi office; we obtain the MEA apostille and return the certificate to you by Blue Dart.
PCC apostille in Nagaland: quick answer
PCC apostille in Nagaland means fixing the MEA apostille to a Police Clearance Certificate issued to a Nagaland resident, so that countries in the Hague Apostille Convention, for example the UK, Ireland or Australia, accept it without an embassy stamp. We take care of the apostille in Delhi, and the certificate reaches us by courier from any district.
Nagaland is served by the Regional Passport Office in Guwahati, with a Passport Seva centre at Chümoukedima near Dimapur. A Passport Seva PCC goes straight to the MEA, usually in 2–3 working days for Rs 1,000–1,500 all-inclusive. A police station or SP office certificate first needs notary and SDM attestation in Delhi, arranged by us: Rs 1,500 fixed, about 5–7 working days.
Nagaland PCC issuers: RPO Guwahati, the Chümoukedima centre and district police
Nagaland does not have its own regional passport office, so your PCC will come from one of these:
| Passport office PCC | Regional Passport Office Guwahati, whose jurisdiction includes Kohima, Dimapur, Mokokchung, Mon, Tuensang, Wokha and the other districts of Nagaland |
|---|---|
| Passport Seva Kendras / POPSKs | Passport Seva Laghu Kendra, Deputy Commissioner Office Complex, Chümoukedima (Dimapur) |
| Police station / district police certificate | Your local police station or district SP office – a signed and sealed police clearance or character certificate |
| Living abroad | People from Nagaland who already live or work abroad can get a PCC from the Indian Embassy or Consulate there; it goes straight to the MEA. |
What matters for a PCC from Nagaland
- English is the official language of Nagaland, so most PCCs from here are already in English. A translation is needed only if the destination, such as Germany, France or Japan, wants the certificate in its own language.
- Check which office your PCC names. A certificate obtained through the Chümoukedima centre is issued by RPO Guwahati, while a district SP certificate from Kohima or Mokokchung follows the police route with notary and SDM attestation.
- Names from Nagaland are sometimes written with the clan name first on one document and last on another. The PCC must match the order and spelling in your passport, or the receiving authority may query it.
- If you are applying abroad for work in hotels, cabin crew or healthcare, the employer may also want your degree or diploma apostilled. Send it with the PCC in one courier and we file them together.
- A PCC is judged by its issue date. If yours was issued more than three to six months before your visa application, ask the employer or embassy whether it is still accepted before sending it for apostille.

FAQs: PCC apostille in Nagaland
I live in Kohima. Is a trip to Delhi needed for the apostille?
No. Send the original PCC and a copy of your passport from Kohima or any district by tracked courier. We handle the MEA apostille in Delhi and send the certificate back to Nagaland by Blue Dart or another secure courier, so you can stay at home throughout.
How much do you charge for a Nagaland PCC?
A Passport Seva PCC costs Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 all-inclusive: the Rs 50 MEA fee, the bank draft and our service. A police station or SP office certificate is a fixed Rs 1,500 because it also goes through notary and SDM attestation. Courier both ways is charged separately.
My PCC came through the Chümoukedima centre. When will the apostille be ready?
It is a passport office PCC issued under RPO Guwahati, so it goes straight to the MEA. It is usually apostilled in 2 to 3 working days after reaching our office; add three to five days of courier in each direction.
Can a police certificate from Mokokchung district be apostilled?
Yes. A certificate signed by a police station or the SP office in Mokokchung, or any other Nagaland district, is first notarised and attested by the SDM in Delhi. We arrange both and then submit it for the MEA apostille. Expect about 5 to 7 working days at Rs 1,500 fixed.
Can you help me get a police clearance certificate in Dimapur?
No. We do not apply for, issue or speed up a PCC or police verification. The passport office or your local police issues the certificate. INFINITYGRO steps in only after you hold the signed original, for the apostille or the attestation your destination needs.
My PCC is in English. Do I still need a translation?
Usually not for English-speaking countries. Countries such as Germany, Spain or Japan may want the apostilled PCC translated into their language. INFINITYGRO translates into any language and can return the translation with your certificate in the same courier. Tell us the language when you first contact us.
Does a PCC apostille in Nagaland work for a job in Qatar?
No. Qatar, like the UAE and Kuwait, is not an apostille country. A PCC for Qatar needs MEA attestation followed by legalisation at the Qatar Embassy. For the UAE it is MEA attestation and online UAE Embassy legalisation only, without UAE MOFA.
My brother in Dimapur has my PCC. Can he send it while I am abroad?
Yes. He can courier the original PCC along with a copy of your passport. We return the apostilled certificate to him in Dimapur, or courier it to your address abroad if you ask. Send us his phone number so the courier can reach him.
