If you are planning to apply for a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) in Nepal, one of the most common questions is:

👉 “How much does it actually cost?”

Many people think it’s completely free — but that’s not fully accurate.

📌 Is PCC Free in Nepal?

The Police Clearance Certificate is issued by Nepal Police without any government fee.

However, there is a mandatory cost involved in the process.

💸 Mandatory PCC Cost (For Everyone)

👉 There is a compulsory fee of NPR 500.

This fee is required for:

✔ Attestation from the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Nepal)

👉 This step is mandatory for all PCC applications.

💻 How Is the Payment Made?

The entire process is now online and simple.

👉 You can make the payment through:

✔ eSewa (online payment system)

👉 No need to visit offices physically for payment.

💡 Important Note

👉 Even though PCC is issued free,
👉 this NPR 500 attestation fee is compulsory for everyone.

So your base cost will always include this amount.

👉 A nominal service charge will apply for:

🌍 PCC Cost from Abroad (UAE, Qatar & More)

If you are applying from UAE, Qatar, or any other country:

👉 The same applies:

✔ NPR 500 (mandatory attestation fee)
✔ Service charge (optional)
✔ Additional attestation (if required for your purpose)

👉 You can apply for PCC from abroad with support from Nepal to avoid confusion.

⚠️ Common Mistake People Make

Many people think:

👉 “PCC is completely free”

But later get confused about charges.

👉 The reality:

✔ PCC = Free
✔ Attestation (MOFA) = Mandatory NPR 500
✔ Service = Optional

One of the biggest problems people face is lack of clear information.

👉 They either:

  • Overpay
  • Get misinformed
  • Face delays

✔ Transparent pricing
✔ Clear guidance
