PCC Apostille in Manipur for Overseas Applications
Most requests for a PCC apostille in Manipur involve a passport PCC from the Passport Seva Kendra at the Old Assembly Complex in Imphal, which reports to RPO Guwahati. A passport officer signs this certificate, so it goes to the MEA without a notary. Police certificates from district police in Manipur need verification first.

PCC apostille sample
What is the quickest way to apostille a police clearance obtained in Imphal? A passport PCC from the Imphal PSK is the simplest case for a PCC apostille in Manipur. It goes directly to the MEA through an authorised outsourced centre. A district police certificate must first pass the Delhi notary and SDM, or the Home Department in Imphal, before the MEA can attach its apostille.
The Imphal Passport Seva Kendra
Manipur's Passport Seva Kendra is at the Old Assembly Complex in Imphal. It works under RPO Guwahati, the regional office for six northeastern states. You book a PCC appointment online and attend with your passport and current address proof.
Once issued, the PCC carries the signature of a passport officer. The MEA already holds such signatures, which is why no state verification is needed.
The PSK serves applicants from all districts of Manipur, including hill districts such as Ukhrul, Senapati and Churachandpur. Applicants from those areas often travel to Imphal for the appointment, so book a slot that allows for the journey.

Police certificates from Manipur Police
Some requests call for a certificate from the local police, such as a character or verification certificate. In Manipur these come from the district police. Check the current application method with your district SP office or through the national Digital Police portal, which links to state services.
This certificate is a personal document for apostille purposes. A notary and the Delhi SDM verify it, or the Home Department in Imphal does, before the MEA.
Before you apply, confirm with the receiving office that a police certificate is acceptable. Many immigration departments accept only the passport PCC. In that case, a district police letter would be refused even after an apostille, and the fee would be wasted.
Our PCC apostille in Manipur workflow
- You send a scan for a quick check.
- You courier the original and a passport copy.
- A passport PCC goes straight to the MEA. A police certificate goes first through notary and SDM, or the state route.
- The MEA confirms the signature and adds the apostille.
- We dispatch it back to you.
The MEA fee is Rs 50 per document, included in our charge. Details are on our PCC apostille page.
A police certificate on the Delhi route usually takes 2 to 3 working days after it reaches us.
Which PCC to request
Visa and immigration checklists usually name the passport PCC. Employers and some local authorities abroad sometimes accept or ask for a police certificate. Read the checklist closely. If it says the certificate must come from the passport authority, a district police letter will not do.
Ask the receiving office how recent your PCC must be. Requirements vary by country.
When both are needed, we process them as two documents. Each gets its own apostille and MEA fee. Tell us at the start so both can travel in one courier and come back together.
For residents of Imphal
Applicants from Imphal East and Imphal West can attend the PSK in the city. After collecting the PCC, post it to our Delhi office. For a police certificate on the state route, the Home Department in Imphal is the verifying office.
We do not collect from homes. Return shipping is by Blue Dart or another reputed courier with tracking.
Students heading abroad from Imphal often need the PCC along with degree papers. We can process those together, which saves one round of courier.
Countries and exceptions
The apostilled PCC works in Hague countries including the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, Oman and Bahrain. China and Germany are exceptions, as neither accepts it from India. Gulf states such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait need MEA attestation and embassy legalization.
We handle those through our embassy attestation service, and the UAE charges page lists costs.
Some countries ask for the PCC in their own language. We provide certified translation on request. When you are ready, send a scan through the contact page.
Getting the passport PCC in Imphal
Start by signing up on passportindia.gov.in and selecting the PCC option. Enter your current Manipur address, pay online and book a slot at the Imphal PSK. Carry your passport and a proof of address. A passport officer signs the PCC once checks are complete.
If your passport was issued elsewhere, police verification may be needed first. This can add time, so start early if your visa has a deadline. When the PCC is in hand, the PCC apostille in Manipur can begin as soon as the original reaches us.
Problems we see with Manipur PCCs
- A scanned printout sent instead of the signed original
- A spelling difference between the PCC and the passport
- A PCC that the destination says is too old
- An apostille requested for a Gulf country that needs embassy attestation
Each of these can delay a file by days. Send us a scan first. We will point out anything that would stop the MEA or the receiving office from accepting it.
The MEA apostille confirms the passport officer's or verifying officer's signature. It does not re-examine the police record. Keep the apostille page attached to the PCC and do not add stamps. In Hague countries such as Canada, Australia or the UK, the apostilled PCC needs no embassy step.
