A police clearance certificate is one of the most closely reviewed documents in any immigration or employment visa file. Embassies and immigration authorities require an accurate, certified English translation when your PCC is issued in any other language. An unclear or uncertified translation can delay or derail your visa application. Wordsmith Language Solutions translates PCCs from every Indian state language into English, certified with a notarised affidavit and agency letterhead, accepted by immigration authorities in Canada, Australia, Germany, and the Gulf.
A police clearance certificate (PCC), also called a character certificate or good standing certificate, is issued by the local or state police authority where you have resided. In India, it is typically issued in the official language of the state. Maharashtra Police issues PCCs in Marathi, central government PCCs may come in Hindi, and state police forces in South India issue them in Kannada, Telugu, or Tamil. Any of these documents, when submitted to a foreign immigration authority, must be accompanied by a certified English translation.
Wordsmith Language Solutions is an ISO 17100:2015 and ISO 9001:2015 certified translation agency founded in Pune in 2013. Our team has completed 1,500+ certified immigration translation jobs since then. Every PCC translation we deliver meets the specific format requirements of the immigration authority it is intended for. You can learn more about our full range of certified translation services or our complete immigration translation services for all document types.

Police clearance certificates in India are issued by state police forces, passport offices, or the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). The language on your PCC depends on where it was issued. A Maharashtra PCC is in Marathi. A Uttar Pradesh or central government PCC may be in Hindi. A Karnataka PCC is in Kannada. Wordsmith Language Solutions has verified specialist linguists for every one of these language pairs and translates into English certified for international use.
