Applying for a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) in Nepal may seem simple, but in reality, many people face delays—not because the process is difficult, but because of small mistakes.

Especially for Nepalese living abroad, even a minor error can cost you time, stress, and sometimes even missed opportunities.

👉 Before you apply, understanding these mistakes can save you from unnecessary trouble.

⚠️ Mistake #1: Submitting Incorrect or Mismatched Documents

One of the most common problems is document mismatch.

For example:

  • Name mismatch between citizenship and passport
  • Different date of birth
  • Spelling errors

👉 Even a small mismatch can delay your PCC or cause rejection.

✔ Always ensure your documents are 100% consistent before submission.

👉 You can verify your documents through the
Police Clearance Certificate service in Nepal

⚠️ Mistake #2: Low Quality or Unclear Document Upload

Blurry or unclear documents are another major issue.

❌ Cropped documents
❌ Shadow or glare in photos
❌ Low-resolution scans

👉 These can lead to rejection or repeated submissions.

✔ Use clear, properly scanned copies of all documents.

⚠️ Mistake #3: Not Understanding the Process

Many people apply without fully understanding the process.

👉 This leads to:

  • Wrong submission
  • Missing steps
  • Delays in verification

✔ Knowing the correct process is very important.

👉 If you are unsure, it’s better to take guidance from a
trusted documentation support platform like Nepalese Sewa

⚠️ Mistake #4: No Follow-Up After Application

Submitting your PCC application is not the final step.

👉 Many people assume the process is automatic and don’t follow up.

❌ Result:

  • Unnecessary delays
  • Missed updates

✔ Proper follow-up ensures faster completion.

⚠️ Mistake #5: Applying at the Last Moment

This is one of the biggest mistakes.

👉 People wait until:

  • Visa deadline
  • Job joining date
  • Immigration submission

Then rush the process.

❌ This creates stress and risk.

✔ Always apply in advance.

⚠️ Mistake #6: Ignoring Attestation Requirements

Many applicants don’t realize that PCC may require attestation depending on the country.

👉 Without proper attestation:

  • Your PCC may not be accepted
  • Your process can be delayed

✔ Always confirm attestation requirements before applying.

⚠️ Mistake #7: Trying to Do Everything Alone Without Guidance

Trying to manage everything alone from abroad can be difficult.

👉 Challenges include:

  • No coordination in Nepal
  • No tracking of application
  • Confusion about process

✔ With proper support, everything becomes simple and stress-free.

👉 You can apply for PCC support from Nepal and avoid these common mistakes.

💰 Quick Note on Cost

The Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) itself is free from Nepal Police.

However:

👉 If you process it through Nepalese Sewa, a nominal service charge applies for handling, guidance, and complete support.

👉 Additional charges may apply for attestation services, depending on your requirement.
