Apostille, when the destination asks for it

Issued by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs (General Administration of Ratification).

  • Certifies the seal on the certificate: here, the Ministry of Interior
  • Carries a number and a QR code that the receiving office can check with the ministry
  • Needed only if the country or office you apply to asks for it. We check that for your case

Names, numbers, photograph, fingerprints, signatures and the QR code are hidden. The authority decides the layout and can change it.

How it works

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

  1. Step 1: Tell us about your Saudi stay

    You

    When you lived there, whether your Iqama is valid or expired, and which embassy or 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 all three.

  3. Step 3: We prepare the application with you

    Trueway

    We check your copies and prepare the application. You review every detail before it is submitted.

  4. Step 4: The Saudi authority issues the certificate

    Authority

    The General Directorate of Criminal Evidence checks its records and decides. Trueway does not control this step; we follow it up and tell you when it is ready.

  5. Step 5: Soft copy first, then the hard copy

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about the Saudi police clearance certificate.

How many days will it take to get a PCC in Saudi Arabia?

The soft copy usually takes 2 to 3 working days once your documents are complete. The hard copy, with the English translation, follows in about 10 working days. The Saudi authority issues the certificate, so the time can vary. We tell you the expected time for your case before you decide.

What does a Saudi PCC look like?

It is a one-page certificate in Arabic and English from the General Directorate of Criminal Evidence, Ministry of Interior (Public Security). It shows your name, ID and passport numbers, date of birth, photograph and fingerprints, who asked for it and why, and the dates of issue and expiry, and states that you have no criminal record. The sample on this page shows one, with the personal details hidden.

How long is the PCC valid for in Saudi Arabia?

One month from the date of issue. The certificate prints both the date of issue and the date of expiry. The office you submit it to may also set its own limit, so apply close to your submission date.

Can I get a Saudi PCC after final exit, from India?

Yes. Trueway handles Saudi PCC requests for people who have left Saudi Arabia, whether they are in India or in another country. Share your passport, Iqama and visa copies and we tell you what is needed for your case.

My Iqama has expired. Can I still apply?

Yes, you can still enquire. We take requests with a valid or an expired Iqama or visa. Send the copies you have and we check what is possible for your case.

I lost my Iqama, or never had one. Can I still get a Saudi PCC?

Yes. Without an Iqama copy we can apply with your border number. This also covers people who worked on ships and people who left Saudi Arabia many years ago.

I am not an Indian citizen. Can Trueway help with my Saudi PCC?

Yes. Trueway handles Saudi PCC requests for other nationalities as well, wherever you live now. The time is the same.

Do I need to send original documents?

No. For a Saudi PCC, scanned copies of your documents are enough.

Do I need to give fingerprints for a Saudi PCC?

Generally only if you moved to Saudi Arabia before 2008, when biometric registration was not yet part of the immigration system. If you moved after 2008 and your Iqama has your biometrics registered in Saudi Arabia, a separate fingerprint is generally not needed.

Where can the fingerprints be taken, if I need them?

In India, at a nearby police station or fingerprint bureau. If you live in another country, through the police department or fingerprinting office of that country. We tell you what your case needs.

Do I need an apostille on the Saudi PCC?

Only if the country or office you are applying to asks for it. The apostille is issued by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Trueway arranges it as a service. Tell us where the certificate is going and we check.

What does a Saudi PCC cost?

Connect with the Trueway team on WhatsApp. We confirm the fee and the expected time before you decide.

How can I get a PCC in Saudi Arabia without an Emirates ID?

An Emirates ID is a UAE document and is not needed for a Saudi PCC. The Saudi PCC is based on your Iqama and passport.

Is Trueway part of the Saudi police or a government body?

No. Trueway provides independent documentation support and is not affiliated with any council, embassy or government authority. The certificate is issued by the Saudi authority, not by Trueway.
