When some Indian passport holders are staying in Japan for more than six (06) months and require Police Clearance Certificate (PCC), then they have to obtain it from there only. No Criminal Record Certificate (NCR) or Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is a vital record as far as someone’s legal background is concerned. Japan is an HCC Country as such the PCC Apostille from MEA, Govt. of India is needed.
When an Indian holding a passport issued in India and staying in Japan for more than six months then they are eligible to obtain a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) or No Criminal Record Certificate from two sources. Someone can get it from the Government of Japan or from the Embassy / Diplomatic Mission of India in Japan.
