Overview

A police clearance certificate (PCC) is legal proof of your not having any criminal records or charges. It is issued by the government or the police agency of the country of your stay before moving abroad for employment, immigration, or study purposes.

In the Philippines, this document is issued by the National Bureau of Investigation and certifies that you have never taken part in any criminal activity that led to the involvement of the Philippine police force. The criminal record information is maintained at the National Bureau of Investigation Department, Philippines Police Force.

You must provide documentary proof of your stay (more than 6 months) in the Philippines to be eligible to apply for a police clearance certificate from the Philippines. The first and last entry and exit date stamps, as well as a color copy of the visa pages, are required.
