Police Clearance Certificates (PCCs) are crucial documents required in immigration processes worldwide. They serve as official verification of an individual's criminal record, confirming whether they have been involved in any unlawful activities within a specific region or country. Immigration authorities often mandate PCCs as part of their comprehensive background checks to assess an applicant’s eligibility for entry or residency. The process of obtaining a PCC typically involves submitting an application, providing fingerprints, and undergoing a thorough background check by law enforcement agencies.
