Cyprus PCC guideWhat delays a Cyprus PCC
A blank field on the form, an ARC number left out when you have one, no Power of Attorney, a missing old passport with the Cyprus visa stamps, or an apostille that was not planned from the start. We check each of these before submission.
Apostille is available
Cyprus is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. The apostille is placed on the certificate in Cyprus, not in India, and we arrange it after the certificate is issued. For countries outside the convention, such as the UAE, a different legalisation process applies.

Highly recommend Mary Jemi here. This is our second time working with her for PCC. As usual excellent communication and detailed explanation of the process. We got PCC for Bahrain this time and previously for Oman. Both times process was very straightforward. Ask for her when you call the office!
Moncy Varghese
Excellent communication and coordination by Mary Jemi. I needed PCC for Oman and within a weeks time of submitting the documents, I got the PCC. It was for my dad who worked there over 15 years back and Mary Jemi guided me and answered all questions promptly regarding whats required for PCC. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about the police clearance certificate from Cyprus.
How long does a Cyprus PCC take?
Usually 7 to 10 working days from a correct submission: the Cyprus Police takes 3 to 7 business days, then the courier. With an apostille, allow 2 to 3 weeks in total, and start at least 4 weeks before your deadline.
I left Cyprus 3 years ago. Can I still get a Cyprus PCC?
Yes. The Cyprus Police can issue a certificate that covers your earlier period of stay. You need the documents that prove your stay from that time, including the passport with Cyprus visa stamps and your ARC copy if you have it.
I do not remember my ARC number. Can I still apply?
The ARC number helps to identify your record, but the application can still be submitted with your passport details and visa copies. Contact Trueway and we tell you what is needed for your case.
Does the Cyprus PCC come in English?
Yes. The Cyprus Police issues the certificate in both Greek and English. Most authorities accept the English version without a further translation.
I need this for UK immigration. Does the Cyprus PCC need an apostille?
For UK Home Office and skilled worker visa requirements, the Cyprus PCC typically needs an apostille. Cyprus is a Hague Convention member, so an apostille is available. Trueway coordinates this step in Cyprus when it is needed.
