If you have lived in Indonesia for 6 months or more and are applying for immigration, visa, or employment abroad, you’ll likely need a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from Indonesia—locally known as SKCK (Surat Keterangan Catatan Kepolisian).

Whether you're in India or any other country, Trueway International provides a fast and secure service to obtain your Indonesian PCC without you needing to travel. Our team handles everything—from document collection to delivery at your doorstep

What Is a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from Indonesia?

A Police Clearance Certificate (SKCK) is an official document issued by the Indonesian National Police (POLRI) confirming that you do not have any criminal record during your stay in Indonesia.

This certificate is commonly required for:

• Canada PR or Australian immigration
• Employment or job abroad
• Visa and permanent residency applications
• University admissions
• Adoption or dependent visa processes

If you've stayed in Indonesia for more than 6 months, many countries (like Canada, UK, Australia, UAE, etc.) mandate a PCC during your visa or document verification stage.

Who Needs a PCC from Indonesia?

You may need an Indonesian PCC if:

• You lived, worked, or studied in Indonesia for 6+ months
• You're applying for PR, work visa, spouse visa, or student visa
• Your destination country requires a PCC from each country you've stayed in

Typical applicants include:

• Foreigners who held a KITAS/KITAP (limited stay permit)
• Former employees of Indonesian firms
• Students who studied in Indonesia
• Professionals applying for PR or skilled migration abroad

Here's a clear explanation of the section “What Happens After You Get the PCC?” in user-friendly terms:

What Happens After You Get the PCC?

Once you receive your Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from Indonesia, you can’t always use it right away for immigration or visa purposes. Most countries require it to be authenticated to prove it’s a valid and genuine document.

The type of attestation needed depends on the country you’re going to:

• If you’re migrating to a Hague Convention country (like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.), your PCC must be apostilled.
• This is a special international certification that confirms the document's authenticity for use in these countries.
• If you’re going to a Non-Hague country (like UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, or Kuwait), your PCC must go through embassy attestation.
• This involves approval from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Indonesia) and the destination country’s embassy.

✅ Trueway International can handle both apostille and embassy attestation for your PCC, making your migration or visa process smooth and hassle-free.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Applying for Indonesian PCC

Even a small mistake can delay your PCC or lead to rejection. Here's what to double-check before you apply:

🚫 Submitting blurry or incomplete documentation

Documents that are unclear, cropped, or missing key pages (like visa stamps or passport ID pages) can result in application rejection. Always provide high-quality scanned copies of every required document.

🚫 Using the wrong photo background or size

Indonesian police require a passport-size photo with a red (or sometimes yellow) background, sized 4x6 cm. Submitting photos with a white or blue background, or in the wrong size, is a common reason for rework.

🚫 Forgetting the fingerprint form (mandatory if applying from abroad)

If you’re applying from outside Indonesia, you must submit a fingerprint form attested by your local police station. Skipping this step is one of the most frequent errors made by overseas applicants.

🚫 Relying on unverified agents or agencies

Many applicants lose time and money by trusting unauthorized or inexperienced agents. Always work with reliable agencies like Trueway, which understand the full PCC and attestation process.

🚫 Not getting apostille or embassy attestation (when required)

Just having the PCC isn’t always enough. Depending on the country you're applying to, the document may also need an apostille attestation or embassy attestation. Skipping this can lead to visa rejection or a request for resubmission later in the process

✅ Pro Tip: Trueway ensures all requirements are met, including formatting photos, collecting fingerprints, and managing apostille/attestation, so your application is accepted the first time.
