Yes......no need for finger print again.
They will only be changing the certificate to reflect new date and/or new passport identification number.
Moreover,that was how i renewed our PCC when i was submitting them for medicals.....and it was accepted.
Cheers.

I submitted originals of my 1st PCC with my application. Although I told the OIC I have done PCC before he didn't border, he just told me to come and do a fresh report. Hope this is okay... also, are we allowed to submit photocopies of PCC?

Its fine although you really don't need fresh fingerprints as the print is already in the database.
Photocopies may be allowed for some forms but the certificate itself must be submitted as original.
Photocopies of original certificate for PCC is not submitted,hence your local visa office will ask again.
Please and please,don't submit photocopies during medical if Accra has requested you to submit update.The certificate needs to be current with the date been issued with reference to passport ID.
Cheers.

Hi, older applicants especially those who have attended interview at AVO confirmed that the VO sometimes reviews an applicant's social media profile on Facebook and LinkedIn to crosscheck the facts in your application. So if you know you are a caterer with Facebook and LinkedIn profiles showing that you are currently engaged in event management full-time and expert at making smallchops and yet you sent FSW application that you are currently working as I.T. professional in a company, hmn.

I will just say now, "chairman do something, kpamu reggae".

Cheers all.

Thanks my chairman.
Sometimes savvy for social media can give someone away.
Please people should act accordingly or betterstill disable the
account if you don't have time to edit it for now.
Good luck

Pipis Husband +1 to you!

Subsidy12 If you can "think it" be rest assured that it can happen ... but of course they cannot possibly do that for every applicant. I believe it's when they sense some foul play or have doubts about an applicant's documents.
