As a Nepalese expatriate working hard in the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, or other countries, you may already be familiar with the Nepal Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)—also known as a Police Report or Character Certificate. This document is often a mandatory requirement for visas, overseas employment, immigration, and study abroad.

At Nepalese Sewa, we specialize in helping Nepalese living abroad obtain their PCC remotely, correctly, and without stress. This complete 2025 guide explains everything you need to know—from eligibility and documents to the online process and common mistakes to avoid.


What Is a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)?

A Police Clearance Certificate is an official document issued by Nepal Police confirming whether an individual has any criminal record in Nepal.
If no record exists, the certificate clearly states that the applicant has no criminal history, making it a vital proof of good character for international use.

The PCC issued by Nepal Police is globally accepted by embassies, immigration authorities, universities, and employers.


Why Is a PCC Required?

A Police Clearance Certificate is commonly required for:

  • Foreign Employment & Work Visas
    UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Malaysia, Japan, and other Gulf/Asian countries

  • Immigration & Permanent Residency (PR)
    Canada, Australia, USA, UK, Europe

  • Student Visas & Study Abroad
    University admissions and embassy requirements

  • Background Verification
    Security, banking, hospitality, aviation, healthcare, and corporate jobs

  • Family Sponsorship & Residency Permits
    Dependent visas and long-term residency applications

❗ Without a valid PCC, applications are often delayed, rejected, or put on hold—risking jobs, visas, and travel plans.


Who Needs a Nepal Police Clearance Certificate?

Any Nepalese citizen, applying from Nepal or abroad, who is involved in:

  • Overseas employment

  • Work, study, or immigration visa processing

  • Employer or government background checks

This is especially critical for Nepalese workers in the UAE and Gulf countries, where strict verification standards apply.


Documents Required for PCC Application

Requirements vary slightly depending on where you are applying from.

If You Are in Nepal

  • Nepalese Citizenship Certificate (front & back)

  • Recent passport-size photo (white background)

  • Current visa page

  • Recent passport-size photo

  • Active phone number & email address

📌 Important:
