If you are planning to apply for a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) in Nepal, the most important step is having the correct documents ready.

👉 Many PCC applications get delayed or rejected simply because of missing or incorrect documents.

So before you apply, make sure you go through this complete checklist.

📌 Why Documents Matter So Much

The PCC process is based on identity verification.

👉 If your documents are not clear, correct, or consistent:

  • Your application may be delayed
  • You may need to re-submit
  • In some cases, it may even be rejected

👉 This is why document preparation is the most critical step.
