Applying for PCC

PCC can be quite painful than you can imagine

There are two ways to apply for PCC if you already have a passport.
If your passport is less than 6 months old, you will be given PCC immediately without any police verification. Else, most of the time police verification at the current address will be performed.
If your current address is same as address on your passport, you can try to convince the passport officer to give it immediately. Else, they will do a police verification

1. Login to http://passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/welcomeLink
2. Create the application for PCC
3. Make payment and get your slot for appointment
4. Take necessary documents/proofs (Current address, Reason for PCC, Passport, Passport xerox)
5. Current address proof needs to be one of these only.
6. Be prepared to spend 4-5 hrs at the PSK
7. Addresses for the last 1 year will be asked and police verification will be done at all those places. You need to produce address proof of only your current address.

Easiest way is to get a letter from IG and carry it to passport office when your appointment is scheduled. No Police verification will be done and you will be given PCC immediately
