  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  • Using Outdated Documents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.
