What delays a Turkey PCC
Asking for the wrong certificate type, not asking for the English version, missing Turkish visa pages from an old passport, or an apostille that was not planned from the start. We check each of these before submission.
Two certificate types
The standard certificate covers your current record and is sufficient for most immigration and licensing purposes; the archive version, which some countries ask for, also covers historical records. We check which one your destination needs before submission.
Turkey PCC guideApostille or legalisation
Turkey has ratified the Hague Apostille Convention, so the certificate can be apostilled for countries that accept apostilles. Countries outside the convention, such as the UAE, need legalisation instead.

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 Turkey.
How long does a Turkey PCC take?
Usually 15 to 20 working days. The time varies with the route taken and the Turkish authority's workload. If you also need an apostille, start at least 4 to 6 weeks before your deadline.
How does the application reach the Turkish authority?
Through the Indian Embassy in Ankara or the Consulate General of India in Istanbul, which forwards it to the Turkish authorities. If you held a Turkish residence permit and have your Turkish foreign identification number, the Turkish e-Government portal is the other route. We check which route fits your case.
I am outside India now. Can I still apply?
Yes. With your Turkish foreign identification number the application can start on the Turkish e-Government portal from wherever you are. Without it, the application goes through the Indian Embassy or Consulate, with a notarised Power of Attorney that lets Trueway submit it for you from India.
I left Turkey 4 years ago. Can I still get a Turkey PCC?
Yes. Your residential history stays on record with the Turkish authorities. You can apply however long ago you left, as long as you have the required documents, including a passport with Turkish visa stamps.
Does the Turkey PCC come in English?
The Turkish criminal record certificate can be issued in English if this is specifically requested.
Do I need to visit the Turkish Embassy in person?
No. Trueway submits the application on your behalf. You do not need to visit any embassy yourself.
I need the Turkey PCC for UK immigration. Does it need an apostille?
For UK Home Office requirements, the Turkey PCC typically needs an apostille. Turkey is a member of the Hague Convention, so an apostille is possible. We arrange it if you need it.
What does a Turkey PCC cost?
Connect with the Trueway team on WhatsApp. We confirm the fee and the expected time before you decide.
Is Trueway part of the Turkish 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 General Directorate of Criminal Records and Statistics, not by Trueway.
