Russia Police Clearance Certificate
The Russia Police Clearance Certificate holds vital pieces of information that will make your stay in any foreign country smoother especially if you plan to conduct business activities there. With a Russia PCC, you are essentially showing the relevant authorities that you have a clean past and that you have no history of any kind of criminal activity previously. If in case you do have a criminal record, the PCC will provide clear and specific details of those criminal records to show the government or whichever requesting body that you value transparency and are not afraid to hide any previous crime.
The Russia PCC will be mandatory when applying for a job, opening a new branch, pursuing higher education, applying for visas, and so on. It will also protect you from being wrongfully accused of a crime as details will be indicated in your PCC even if you share the same name with someone.

WHY IS THE PCC NEEDED?
The Russia Police Clearance Certificate will serve as an official document that clarifies your whole past record. This will be required whether you are a wide-eyed and eager new talent looking to develop and further boost your career in a foreign landscape or a seasoned business owner with plenty of commercial-savvy skills who is looking to expand operations in a different region.
If you have been living in Russia for more than 6 months, then your prolonged stay in the country will prompt a PCC from the relevant bodies of authority. This is important because this will prove that you will not be a public threat no matter what your official business in Russia may be. On the other hand, if you simply want to pursue higher education to boost your prowess in the academe regardless of your field, you will also be asked to submit a PCC as a prerequisite for enrollment.
