China Police Certificate (PCC) / No Criminal Record
We assist foreigners who have lived, worked, or studied in China to obtain an official China Police Certificate / No Criminal Record Certificate for immigration, work visa, permanent residence and background checks — without the need to travel back to China.
Tell us which Chinese city you stayed in, your length of stay, visa type and destination country. We will assess feasibility, confirm the cities involved and provide an estimated processing time.
After you confirm the quotation and processing route, you may pay the service fee via international transfer. We will immediately start preparing the necessary application documents for your China PCC.
With our guidance you will prepare the required supporting documents, such as a power of attorney, scans of your current and previous passports, police registration forms, and other documents requested by local authorities.
Our local partners will submit your application in person at the relevant Public Security Bureau / Exit-Entry Administration, and closely follow up with the police office until the certificate is issued.
Once the Police Certificate is issued, we will send you a scanned copy (and English translation, if needed) for your confirmation, to ensure that all personal details and dates are correct before proceeding with notarization or legalization.
The final original Police Certificate together with any notarial certificate, apostille or consular legalization will be sent to you by DHL / UPS or another trackable international courier to the address you provide.
Our China Police Certificate service fee usually starts from USD 450. The final price depends on the number of cities involved, your visa and residence history, and whether notarization, Hague apostille or embassy / consular legalization is required.
In most cases the overall processing time is around 2–8 weeks. After understanding your situation and the requirements of your destination country, we will provide a more precise time estimate for your case.

A China Police Certificate (PCC) is frequently requested for immigration, work permits, permanent residency, citizenship, overseas employment, and academic admissions. It is considered a core part of background checks by immigration authorities, visa centers, and employers. Because procedures and document formats vary across local Public Security Bureaus and notary offices in China, many applicants experience delays or rejections simply because the certificate does not fully meet the destination country’s technical requirements.
We review your personal situation, residence history in China, passport and visa records, and the specific requirements of the authority you are applying to. Based on this, we recommend the most appropriate route, including whether your PCC needs to be translated, notarized, apostilled, or fully legalized by a consulate. With our guidance, you can submit a China Police Certificate that aligns more closely with the expectations of immigration offices, embassies, and employers overseas.
