How to Get Your Police Character Certificate Attested for UAE Embassy
If you’re planning to work, study, or live in the UAE, you’ll need to get your Police Character Certificate (PCC) attested by the UAE Embassy. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
Step 1: Obtain Your Police Character Certificate
First, you need to get a PCC from your local district police office. Visit the District Police Office in your city and submit the required documents and fee. The certificate will confirm your criminal background for the duration of your stay in the UAE.
Step 2: Attestation by Local Authority and Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)
Once you have your PCC, it needs to be attested by a certified notary in your area. After the initial attestation, submit the certificate to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) for further attestation.
Step 3: Attestation by UAE Embassy
Visit the UAE Consulate in your nearest big city (Islamabad or Karachi). Bring the original MOFA attested PCC, fill out the required form at the consulate, and submit the necessary fee. Your document will be processed, and the attestation process can take a few days.
