PCC Apostille for Moldova

Indian Police Clearance Certificate for Use in Moldova

An Indian PCC may be requested for Moldovan residence, employment, immigration, study or another official purpose. Confirm the accepted PCC issuer, issue-date limit and translation requirement before starting.

India and the Republic of Moldova are Contracting Parties to the HCCH Apostille Convention status table. For an eligible Indian public document, an apostille generally replaces consular legalization. The Moldovan recipient still decides whether the PCC issuer, age and format are acceptable.

Important: Passport Seva/RPO, police-authority and Indian-mission PCCs may follow different verification routes.
