PCC Apostille in Rajasthan Without a Trip to Delhi
For a PCC apostille in Rajasthan, the Regional Passport Office in Jaipur is the usual issuer of passport PCCs, while district police offices issue character or police verification certificates. Each needs a different number of steps before the Ministry of External Affairs. INFINITYGRO works out which applies and does the rest by courier.

PCC apostille sample
Is a Rajasthan police character certificate valid for apostille? It can be, once attested. A certificate issued by district police goes through a notary and an SDM in Delhi, or the Home (Coordination) Department in Jaipur, before PCC apostille in Rajasthan at the MEA. A passport PCC from RPO Jaipur skips those steps because a passport officer has signed it.
Start by Identifying the Signatory
Look at the bottom of your certificate. If it names a passport officer and carries the Passport Seva logo, it is a passport PCC. If it carries a police seal and the signature of a Superintendent of Police or a police station officer, it is a police character or verification certificate.
This one check decides the whole route. A passport officer is a central government signatory whom the MEA can verify directly. A police officer's signature first needs attestation by an SDM or the state Home Department.

RPO Jaipur and Passport Seva Kendras
Rajasthan's Regional Passport Office is in Jaipur. Applicants book a PCC appointment on passportindia.gov.in and attend a Passport Seva Kendra. Passport Seva Kendras also run in other Rajasthan cities, so many applicants do not need to travel to Jaipur. The portal shows which Kendra serves your address.
After police verification at your address, the RPO issues the PCC. Keep the file number. It helps if a foreign office later asks to confirm the certificate.
If the police report from your address is pending, the RPO cannot issue the PCC. Respond quickly to any call from the local station to avoid delay.
Rajasthan Police Character Certificates
Rajasthan Police offers citizen services, including the RajCop Citizen mobile app listed on the government app store. Character certificates are generally issued by the district police after a local check. The exact application steps can differ by district, so confirm with your Superintendent of Police office.
These certificates are useful for some jobs and courses abroad. They are personal documents for MEA purposes, so they need attestation before the apostille.
Apply from the district where you live now. A certificate from an old address may not satisfy a receiving office that checks your present residence.

Jodhpur, Kota, Ajmer and Bikaner residents follow the same process. Your nearest Passport Seva Kendra handles the visit, and RPO Jaipur issues the certificate.
Gulf Jobs and Apostille Countries
Many Rajasthan workers go to the Gulf. For Saudi Arabia, Oman and Bahrain, the apostille is enough. The UAE, Qatar and Kuwait are not Hague members, so a PCC for those countries needs MEA attestation and embassy legalization. Our UAE attestation charges page covers that.
The UK, the USA, Canada, Australia and most of Europe accept the apostille. China and Germany do not.
If you hold a PCC for a Gulf job, check whether the employer also wants it translated into Arabic. We arrange that before the attestation stage, so the documents travel together.
Several PCCs at Once
When a whole family is relocating, each adult usually needs a PCC. We can take a batch of passport PCCs and police certificates together. Each one is a separate document with its own apostille and MEA fee, but they move through our office as one file and return in one tracked parcel.
Write each person's name and destination on a note inside the envelope. If the destination differs for any family member, mention it, since one country may want the apostille and another may want embassy legalization. For a PCC apostille in Rajasthan done as a family batch, note that Gulf employers sometimes also ask for an attested degree, which we can process in the same batch.
Keeping the Certificate Current
Receiving offices often want a recently issued police certificate, and each sets its own limit. Ask for that limit before you apply. Then add courier time from Rajasthan and the apostille stage to your plan.
Your name must match the passport exactly. A mismatch may need an affidavit before attestation.
