Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)

[Nothing]

Hi All,

In Bangladesh, Police Clearance Certificate is issued based on the address that is provided in the passport. In many case, people who live in the city, use their suburb/village address (which is their permanent address) in the passport. But due to work issues, people reside (rented or employer provided space) in cities. Given that police authority will only issue the certificate based on the address which is given in passport, my questions are:

1. Does it require that PCC needs to be issued based on current/present residential address?

2. What if a person doesn't live in his permanent address since his 18 years of age. But regularly visit the place. when the applicant fills up the background declaration form, will there be any problem if he doesn't mention the permanent address details in the list of residential addresses?

In short-
a. the person's address in the passport is permanent address and based on which the PCC will be issued.
b. but his contact mailing address and residential addresses since 18 years of age are different from permanent address (as mentioned in the passport)

Thus, there will be no reflection of permanent address details in any of the forms that the principal applicant is going to fill up. Will that be any concern? Does it require that the permanent address (given in the passport) needs to be same residential address?

Thanks in advance and regards

I would write a letter explaining why the address is different. However, it seems weird to me to not have your current address on your passport. I would renew the passport and put the new address in it, personally. But a letter of explanation might be enough.

Thanks for the response. But will there be any problem if I can give two PCC for two different addresses- that is one for the permanent address and for the current address as well.

Seems to be even more validating.

I thought you said they will only issue the PCC based on the address on the passport?

If you have an option you should issue the PCC based on the address that the person has actually resided. I don't think that 2 PCCs are necessary.

Yeah,that was the standard.. PCC based on the passport. But I guess,there is an alternative to issue PCC based on temporary address as well. If I can manage to get a PCC based on current resident, should it be suffice?

Thank you very much indeed for all supports.

Hi
I am from India. My situation is that I dont have any solid proof of residence for my current address.
Can I get PCC from where my passport was issued(place of permanent address). Should that suffice?

I received my ITA on 12th and planning on submitting soon.

Thanks in advance for any help.
