Official Cyprus Police Clearance Certificate Support
A Cyprus Police Clearance Certificate, also called a Certificate of Good Conduct or Criminal Record Certificate, is an official document issued by the Cyprus Police Headquarters in Nicosia. It confirms whether you had any criminal record during your period of stay or residence in the Republic of Cyprus.
If you previously lived, worked, or studied in Cyprus and are now applying for immigration to Canada, Australia, the UK, Ireland, or any other country that requires police clearances from every country of previous residence, this certificate is mandatory. Trueway International provides full support for Cyprus PCC processing from India.

You need a Cyprus PCC if any of the following applies to you.
You previously lived or worked in the Republic of Cyprus and are now applying for immigration or PR to Canada, Australia, the UK, Ireland, the USA, or any country that asks for police clearance from every country you have resided in for 6 months or more.
You are applying for NMC registration in the UK or NMBI registration in Ireland, both of which require a police clearance certificate from every country you have lived in for 12 months or more. If Cyprus is part of your career or residential history, both will ask for it.
You are applying for ANMAC skilled migration to Australia, and Cyprus appears in your residential history.
You held a Cyprus visa, residence permit, or ARC (Alien Registration Card), and a foreign authority is now asking for confirmation of your criminal record status during that period.
An important point to note: even if you left Cyprus several years ago, the requirement for a Cyprus PCC does not lapse. Immigration authorities check residential history going back several years and will ask for it regardless of when your Cyprus stay ended.
To apply for a Cyprus Police Clearance Certificate through Trueway, you must provide the following:
7 to 10 Working Days
The Cyprus Police typically processes criminal record certificate applications within 3 to 7 business days after receiving the application. Combined with courier transit time, the total timeline for receiving the certificate in India is approximately 7 to 10 working days from the date of correct submission.
Trueway follows up throughout the processing period and arranges courier delivery directly to you in India or to the authority requesting the certificate.
Step 1 — Document Review
You send us scanned copies of all required documents. Our team verifies the application form, passport copies with Cyprus visa stamps, ARC details, and Power of Attorney before submission.
Step 2 — Application Preparation
We prepare the correctly completed official Cyprus Police application form and organize all supporting documents in the format required by Cyprus Police Headquarters.
Step 3 — Submission to Cyprus Police Headquarters
The application is submitted to the Chief of Police, Cyprus Police Headquarters, Nicosia, through our representative under the Power of Attorney, along with the 20 euro fee payment.
Step 4 — Processing and Certificate Issuance
Cyprus Police processes the application and issues the certificate. Processing takes 3 to 7 business days.
Step 5 — Delivery
The certificate is collected and dispatched to you in India via courier or forwarded directly to the authority that requested it. Trueway confirms receipt and delivery at each stage.
[H2]
The Republic of Cyprus is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. This means that a Cyprus PCC can be apostilled by Cyprus authorities for use in other Hague Convention member countries such as the UK, Australia, Canada, Ireland, and most EU countries.
If your immigration authority or the country you are applying to requires an apostilled Cyprus PCC, Trueway coordinates this apostille step in Cyprus after the certificate is issued. The apostille confirms the certificate's authenticity internationally without needing embassy legalization.
For countries that are not Hague members, such as the UAE, a different legalization process is required. Contact us, and we will advise the correct authentication route for your specific destination.
This is a distinction that causes genuine confusion, and it is important to get right before applying.
The Republic of Cyprus is the internationally recognized government that controls the southern part of the island. Its PCC is issued by Cyprus Police Headquarters in Nicosia and is internationally accepted.
Northern Cyprus (TRNC — Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) is a separate administration recognized only by Turkey. If you live in Northern Cyprus specifically, the PCC you need comes from the TRNC Police, not from Cyprus Police Headquarters. The documents, process, and issuing authority are completely different.
If you lived in the southern part of Cyprus under the Republic of Cyprus government, this service page is for you. If you live in Northern Cyprus under the TRNC, contact Trueway, and we will advise the correct route for the TRNC PCC.
Yes. The Cyprus Police can issue a certificate covering your previous period of stay. You will need the documents proving your Cyprus residency from that time, including the passport with Cyprus visa stamps and your ARC copy if available.
Trueway International processes Cyprus PCC applications from India, including the Power of Attorney coordination, Cyprus Police submission, and apostille if required.
