Let’s understand the meaning of police clearance status before checking it. The term “status” refers to the stage or condition that indicates where your police clearance certificate currently stands.
It may be pending, or the application might not have been accepted yet.
If the application has been accepted, the status will show at which stage it is now or whether it is ready for delivery- all such information can be known.
When I applied for a police clearance certificate, I checked the status online easily. So, let’s learn the process below.

At this stage, we will learn how to check the police clearance certificate application status through SMS.
Those who cannot use the online method or do not want to go through the hassle of opening an account can also check the status of their police clearance certificate through the SMS process.
To check police clearance through SMS, follow the steps below:
- First, go to the message option on your phone and type: PCC

A few moments after sending the SMS, you will receive a reply SMS on your phone, informing you of the status of your police clearance certificate.
If you have difficulty understanding, you can follow the example below

Online Copy of Police Clearance Certificate
There are many people who want to get the online copy of the police clearance certificate, but it is important to clarify that the police clearance certificate cannot be downloaded online.
You can only check the status online, which will inform you when you will receive your police clearance certificate. To get the certificate, you must go to your local police station and contact them.
From there, you will be provided with the original police clearance certificate.
How Long Does It Take to Deliver a Police Clearance?
Usually, it takes 3 to 10 days to receive a police clearance certificate. However, in special cases, it may take longer.
If someone has any complaints or legal cases against them, it may take more time to issue their police clearance certificate. The time needed will depend on your personal situation.
Is There Any Way to Get the Certificate in 3 Days?
As mentioned earlier, police clearance is generally issued within 3 to 10 days. But in many cases, it may take more time.
If you urgently need the certificate within 3 days, you should contact your nearest police station directly.
Only the police officers working at your local station can confirm whether it’s possible to issue the certificate within 3 days.
If you don’t have any criminal records or cases, then by paying an extra fee, there is a chance you might get it within 3 days.
