Hi ,

Needed a suggestion, I am an Indian citizen always been in India except a short stint (> 6 months in UK), hence need to get a UK PCC
The online form asks for the last 10 years address history. I have changed lot of addresses and for few of them,I dont have any proof . Even for the present address (I am staying on rent in Delhi) i dont hv valid proof(plain paper rent agreement). However, my passport has my permanent address of Punjab. on Which i have all my id documents.
1. Shall I mention all as it is here in UK PCC form? Or can i just simplify here reducing multiple addresses to single one as my permanent address of Punjab (as on passport ) shown as current address, and in between UK stay period? Any inputs plz
2. Address history should be same as i mention in my express entry profile?
3. Does this address history is so significant ,and have any impact further in the entire process?

Fill out the 10 years addresses in ACRO online form exactly same as you will fill the Address History section in your EE profile.

In your case, your current residence/postal address (Delhi) which you will also mention in your EE application as current/postal residence, you have to submit 2 address proof to ACRO. Firstly, get a new tenancy agreement prepared on a bond paper (if it is on plain paper) with complete address of house/flat mentioned and this is what you can submit as one of the proof.

For second address proof document, if you have a local savings/current bank account or even a credit card in Delhi with your current address registered in it, then go to branch get a stamped statement, scan and upload it as second proof.

Also, other option is that if you are currently employed, just get a letter from the company on their letterhead stating your current address. They should mention that Employee xx working in our organisation has xx, Delhi address on our records.

For your final query, it is better have complete information synchronized and recorded no matter when and where you use it in the future. Multiple versions of information will come and bite us, if not now, may be sometime in the future in the form of misrepresentation. it is better to be safe.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your detailed response...did you get a successful UK PCC...how long does it take or did take in your case?, and do they enquire about previous address history details...??
Also, I am planning to get India PCC based on my permanent address since my passport has the permanent address(Punjab).. I wont be able to show Delhi address there since i dont want to get into change in passport address and corresponding police verification process on both sides..moreover i may shift from delhi addresss soon..hope India PCC on permanent address does not create any issue?

Even you can get Indian PCC from current address. There is no requirement that you have to change Permanent Address in your passport. Most of the people have different current address than the passport. When you apply Indian PCC from PSK, you can mention your current Delhi address as current and postal address . End of the day it is your call but I also had same issue and I did exactly the same.

ACRO has 2 types of service
  • Standard service - £45.00 (10 working days, not including dates of receipt or dispatch) - They send PCC by regular post and it can take up to 15-20 days to reach you after dispatch.
  • Premium service - £80.00 (2 working days, not including dates of receipt or dispatch) - I used this service and got PCC delivered at my door step in 10 days including dispatch time via DHL.
Goodluck

Put only one address in ACRO form for the complete duration. Same should be filled while submitting EE application address history section.

Yes, a lawyer can be endorser.

I am not sure if giving UK postal address works when you are not residing in UK. You can try mentioning London address as postal address but current address should be same were you are currently residing as this will be mentioned on your PCC.

I got my PCC from UK and I reside in India. It took 20 days for the entire process, including the delivery of mail to my home in India. If you any one here has doubts, please let me know
