PCC Apostille in Sikkim
MEA Attestation — Courier to Delhi
Sikkim — the Land of Mystic Splendour — is India’s smallest state, nestled between Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan. Residents of Gangtok, Namchi, Mangan, Gyalshing, and every Sikkim district can get their Police Clearance Certificate apostilled by INFINITYGRO’s Delhi team. As Sikkim’s nearest PSK is in Siliguri (West Bengal), residents travel there for PSK PCCs, then courier the certificate to our Delhi office for MEA Apostille.
PCC Apostille in Sikkim is processed by INFINITYGRO (meaembassyattestation.com) from New Delhi. Sikkim residents apply for Passport Seva PCCs at PSK Siliguri (West Bengal). Once issued, courier the original PCC to our Delhi office. PSK PCCs are apostilled in 2–3 working days. Sikkim Police PCCs require Notary and Sikkim Home Department attestation in Gangtok, totalling 5–7 working days.
What Is PCC Apostille & Why Sikkim 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.
Notary Certificate (State Police PCC only)
Required exclusively for PCCs issued by Sikkim State Police. A registered Notary Public in your district certifies the document and SP’s signature before the Home Department step.
Home Department Attestation (State Police PCC only)
State-level attestation from Sikkim Home Department, Gangtok. Mandatory before MEA submission for Sikkim State Police-issued PCCs only.
Important before dispatching: (1) Remove any plastic lamination — the Apostille sticker cannot bond to a laminated surface. (2) Scan or photograph every page before documents leave Sikkim.
