What is a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)?
A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) or Certificate of Good Conduct is an official document that confirms whether an individual has a criminal record or is under investigation. It is known by various names in different countries, such as Good Conduct Certificate, Criminal Record Check, and Penal Clearance Certificate. PCC is often required for immigration, employment, higher education, and adoption procedures to ensure the individual’s background is clear.
When is a PCC Required?
A Police Clearance Certificate is essential for various scenarios:
- Immigration Applications: Countries like Canada, Australia, and the United States often require a PCC for visa applications.
- Employment: Many employers, especially in security-sensitive sectors, request a PCC as part of their hiring process.
- University Admissions: Some international universities include PCC in their admission requirements.
- Adoption: International adoption procedures may mandate a PCC to verify the applicant’s background.
How to Obtain a PCC in the UAE?
In the UAE, a PCC can be obtained through the Dubai Police website or the Ministry of Interior. Please note that embassies do not issue PCCs, but the attestation process may require embassy involvement depending on the country where the certificate is being used.
PCC Attestation Process:
- If the PCC is issued outside the UAE: The document must first be attested by the UAE Embassy or Consulate in the country of origin. After that, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) attestation is required.
- If the PCC is issued within the UAE: The document needs to undergo UAE MOFA attestation. Embassy attestation may also be required, depending on the country where the PCC will be used. If the certificate is in Arabic, a translation may be necessary before further attestation.
