How it works

Who does what, from your first message to the certificate.

  1. Step 1: Tell us about your stay in Germany

    You

    When you lived there, where you live now, and which office is asking for the certificate.

  2. Step 2: We send your checklist and the fee

    Trueway

    On WhatsApp, for your case, with the expected time. You decide after you have seen them.

  3. Step 3: You sign the authorisation

    You

    The authorisation letter is notarised. We prepare the application forms with you, and you review every detail before they are submitted.

  4. Step 4: The Bundesamt für Justiz issues the certificate

    Authority

    The Federal Office of Justice checks its register and decides. Trueway does not control this step; we follow it up.

  5. Step 5: Hard copy, and apostille if you need it

  • Jency Moncy

    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!
