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 the 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 Internationalcan handle both apostille and embassy attestation for your PCC.

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.

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

ProTip: Trueway checks your documents, including the photos and the fingerprint form, before anything is submitted.
