Hi Experts!

I am a bit confused about how my PCC's should look like. My case is as follows;

- Country of Citizenship: Pakistan
- Period Lived: Birth till Aug 2018

- Country of Residence: Norway
- Period Lived: Aug 2018 to date

I got my PCC from Norway, and it only shows the date and place of issue (they don't document how long or the period resided in the country)

My question is should my Pakistan PCC (country of citizenship) be covering all the dates till the present date or till when I have last resided there?

Thank you all in advance!

That's fine. My UK PCC is the same - just the date when it was issued.

Your Pakistani PCC must be issued (and therefore cover the dates) after the last time you stayed there for 6 months in a row. In your case, this would be until 2018.
