An apostille from India’s MEA makes your Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) valid in Hague Convention countries. Choose the mode based on the recipient’s checklist:

  • Sticker Apostille (General): physical MEA sticker on your PCC.
  • e-Apostille (QR): digital apostille with QR verification—fast and easy to share.

Fee Structure

RPO/PSK (Direct MEA route): ₹₹1,000 — no Notary/SDM required
General PCC (Notary + SDM + MEA): ₹₹2,000 — full attestation chain

EasyApostille service includes:

  • Free premium return** (serviceable locations) with live status updates.
  • Discount: 510% off automatically for 1+ documents.

Add-ons (only if needed):

  • State Home Department route (if a country insists on State over SDM)
  • Affidavits / translations (case-by-case)
  • Fresh PCC issuance guidance (government fees at actuals)
  • Embassy/Consulate attestation for non-Hague countries

Route decision (RPO vs General)

  • RPO/PSK PCC (original): Usually direct MEA apostille — no Notary/SDM, so lower handling fee.
  • Police/Commissioner/State PCC or print/true copy: Often needs Notary → SDM/State → MEA, so general fee applies.
  • We always follow the recipient’s written checklist; if State HRD is demanded, we use that path even for RPO PCC.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between RPO and General PCC apostille?

RPO/PSK PCCs go directly to MEA for apostille at ₹1000 (no Notary/SDM). Police or State-issued PCCs usually need Notary → SDM → MEA, priced at ₹2000.

Do I need to send my original PCC?

If your PCC is from RPO/PSK, the original is required for direct MEA apostille. For e-Apostille or copies, we confirm acceptance before filing.

Is notarization required for PCC?

Not needed for original RPO/PSK PCCs. Required only if you'sre submitting a true copy or a State/Police PCC that MEA doesn't accept directly.

How long does PCC apostille take?

RPO/PSK (direct MEA) usually completes in 2-3 working days. General (Notary + SDM + MEA) takes 3-5 days depending on State verification.

How much does it cost?

RPO/PSK PCC — ₹1,000; General PCC — ₹2,000. Both include MEA apostille & premium delivery.

Which PCCs are accepted for apostille?

PCCs issued by Passport Seva Kendra/RPO, Police/Commissioner's Office, or State authority are accepted after format and seal check.

Can someone apply on my behalf?

Yes. A parent, guardian, or authorized person can apply with ID proofs and a short authorization letter (template provided).

Is e-Apostille accepted for PCC?

Yes, if your destination accepts digital verification. Choose Sticker apostille when physical stamping or in-person validation is required.

What if my PCC is older or unclear?

If your PCC is over 6 months old or missing clear seals/QR, we may suggest re-issue for faster acceptance and zero rejection risk.

How will I get updates?

We share your order ID with live WhatsApp and email updates during verification, MEA apostille, and courier dispatch.
