Overview
A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is an official document verifying that an individual holds a clean criminal record in India.
For those residing in Thailand with a Work Permit or Tangdao (Alien Registration Certificate), the Indian Consular Application Centre (ICAC) in Thailand provides the service of attesting the PCC application to verify the applicant’s legal standing.
This PCC is typically required for work-related purposes, visa applications, or other legal matters where a clean record is necessary. The Work Permit or Tangdao holders must follow the specified process to apply for this certificate.
