4 or 6 passport size photographs and some fees.
what does PCC stand for? Police Clearance Certificate?
--> Yes
does all passport offices give the PCC?
--> I think Yes.
one just needs to go and ask for it? what is the procedure for that?
--> In India, if you ask some passport agent, they can explain the procedure. As well as, you can do it by your own also. You have to apply for it and you need passport size 4 or 6 photographs. and some fee. Rs. 250 to Rs. 1000.(No clear idea).
The procedure is as below
1. You will apply for PCC in passport office.
2. Passport office will send those papers to your regional police head quarter.
3. Your regional Police head quarter will forward it to your area Police Chowki.
4. Your area police man will come to your home and confirm about you and check your criminal records in their record books. If nothing is there, area police will forward it back to regional police head quarter with 'No objection'.
5. Your regional Police head Quarter will send back to Passport office.
6. You have to visit Pasport office and collect your PCC.
Above process takes almost 1 month. But you can make it faster by keep tracking at regional police head quarter and local police chowki. Sometime needs some 'fuel' also.
This experience was in Ahmedabad. It can vary.
