Many people apply for a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) for jobs, visas, or background checks, but not everyone gets approved on the first attempt. Here are some common reasons why a PCC may face delays or rejection:

• Missing Required Information
If your application is incomplete or missing identification details, authorities may not process it.

• Incorrect Personal Data
Even small mistakes—wrong date of birth, misspelled names, or mismatched IDs—can lead to rejection.

• Poor Quality Fingerprints
Blurry or unclear fingerprint impressions are a major reason applications are returned.

• Active Legal Matters
If you have any unresolved court cases, disputes, or ongoing investigations, your clearance may be put on hold.

• Inconsistent Records
If the information in your documents doesn't align with official records, the system may flag your application.

• Using Outdated Documents
Submitting expired IDs or old passport copies often results in denial.
