What is a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from Malaysia?

A Malaysian PCC is an official certificate issued by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM). It states whether an individual has any criminal record in Malaysia. The PCC is often required for immigration, job applications, higher studies, visa processing, or residency permits in foreign countries.

You will need a Malaysian PCC if:

• You previously lived or worked in Malaysia
• You are applying for permanent residency (PR) or a work permit in countries like Canada, the UK, Australia, or New Zealand

Common FAQs About the Malaysia PCC for Indians

Can I get a Malaysian PCC while living in India?

Yes, Indian nationals can apply for a Malaysian Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) while residing in India. You don’t have to travel to Malaysia for this process. You can either apply directly by couriering your application to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) or apply through Trueway International, which prepares the application with you, guides you on fingerprinting and follows up the submission.

Is fingerprinting mandatory?

Absolutely. Fingerprinting is a mandatory requirement for a Malaysian PCC application. You must submit clear, high-quality fingerprint impressions taken by authorized personnel—usually from a police station or a certified notary public. These prints are used for identity verification and background checks by Malaysian authorities. If fingerprints are unclear or unofficial, the application can be delayed or rejected. Trueway guides you through this step.

How long is the Malaysian PCC valid?

The validity of a Malaysian Police Clearance Certificate generally ranges from 6 to 12 months, depending on the organization or authority requesting it (such as immigration departments, employers, or educational institutions). Some countries or visa offices may consider the PCC valid for only six months from the date of issue, while others may accept it for up to a year. It’s always best to confirm validity requirements with the requesting authority before applying.

Can I track the status of my PCC?

If you apply through Trueway International, we follow up the application and keep you updated on WhatsApp, from document submission to final dispatch of the PCC.

What happens if the application is rejected?

If your PCC application is rejected, it usually means that the documentation was incomplete, the fingerprinting was unclear, or some other procedural error occurred. In such cases, you will need to reapply with the corrected documents. Trueway checks your documents before submission. Send your documents on WhatsApp for a check.
