Official Turkey Police Clearance Certificate Support
A Turkey Police Clearance Certificate, officially called Sabıka Kaydı or Criminal Record Certificate, is an official document issued by the General Directorate of Criminal Records and Statistics under the Turkish Ministry of Justice. It confirms whether you had any criminal record during your period of stay or residence in Turkey.
If you previously lived or worked in Turkey and are now applying for immigration to Canada, Australia, the UK, Ireland, or any other country, this certificate is a mandatory requirement. Trueway International processes your Turkey PCC from India with full document preparation and follow-up support.
You need a Turkey PCC if any of the following applies to you.
You previously worked or lived in Turkey and are now applying for immigration or PR to Canada, Australia, the UK, the USA, or any country that requires police clearances from every country you have lived in for 6 months or more.
You are applying for a new job abroad, and your employer or licensing body has listed Turkey on your document checklist.
You are applying for NMBI registration in Ireland, NMC registration in the UK, or ANMAC skilled migration to Australia, and Turkey forms part of your residential history.
You held a Turkish residence permit or work permit, and a foreign immigration or licensing authority is asking for confirmation of your criminal record status during that period.
The requirement for a Turkey PCC does not expire just because you left Turkey years ago. Immigration authorities check residential history going back several years and will ask for it regardless of when your stay in Turkey ended.
To apply for a Turkey Police Clearance Certificate through Trueway, you must provide:
Our team reviews all documents before submission and ensures the application is correctly directed to the appropriate authority based on your specific situation.
15 to 20 Working Days
Processing time varies based on the route taken and the Turkish authority's current workload. Trueway follows up throughout the processing period to ensure your application moves without unnecessary delay.
Step 1 — Document Review
You send us scanned copies of all required documents. Our team verifies the passport copies with Turkish visa stamps, proof of stay, and all personal details before the application is prepared.
Step 2 — Application Preparation
We prepare the correctly formatted application with all mandatory details and identify the appropriate route based on your specific Turkey residency situation.
Step 3 — Submission and Follow-Up
The application is submitted to the relevant Turkish authority or through the Indian Embassy channel. Trueway follows up throughout the processing window and keeps you updated.
Step 4 — Certificate Receipt and Forwarding
Once the Turkey PCC is issued, we confirm receipt and arrange for the document to reach you or be submitted directly to the authority that requested it.

Turkey issues two types of criminal record certificates. The standard criminal record certificate covers your current record. The forensic record certificate includes archive information covering historical records that may have been expunged. For most immigration and licensing purposes, the standard certificate is sufficient, but some countries specifically ask for the archive version.
Trueway advises on which certificate type your specific destination country requires before the application is submitted.
Turkey has also ratified the Hague Apostille Convention, which means a Turkey PCC can be apostilled for use in countries that accept apostilles. For countries outside the Hague Convention, such as the UAE, a legalization process is required instead. Contact us, and we will advise the correct next step based on where you are submitting the certificate.
Yes. Your Turkey residential history stays on record with Turkish authorities. You can apply for the PCC regardless of how long ago you left, as long as you have the required documents, including a passport with Turkish visa stamps.
