Pcc from birth?

[Shivanker]

I have been in my home country from birth. Do I need a PCC covering the whole period from birth or just the period from the time I turned 18.

You need to obtain PCC from the birth.

If you are in India, just get it from Passport Seva Kendra - it will cover you until the present day.

@karthik2479 @karthik506 this is what the CIC website says.
Who needs a police certificate?
In general, you and all the people in your family who are 18 or older need to get a police certificate.

You may need a police certificate from any country or territory that you have spent six months or more since the age of 18.

For example: if you visited, worked or lived in a country for two months, left for a few years, then returned for four months, that counts as spending six months there. In this case, you would need a certificate.

If you need a police certificate from a country or territory and:

• are currently living there, or received the police certificate before leaving, the police certificate must be issued within six months before you apply.
• have lived there in the past, the police certificate must be issued after you last lived in that country or territory.

If you are in your home country, get your PCC. Use it before 6 months from the date of issue.

If you are not in your home country, visit your nearest embassy to get PCC and use if before you go to your home country.

Its very simple - everyone will need at least 1 PCC - even if they have never traveled outside country of birth as is your case. So you need to get it.
