Is a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) required at the VFS appointment for a Germany student visa?
Hi everyone,
I'm applying for a Germany student visa from India and have my VFS appointment on 07-07-2026
I'm a bit confused about the Police Clearance Certificate (PCC). Is it mandatory to carry the original PCC to the VFS appointment, or is it only required if the embassy specifically asks for it later?
If you've recently submitted your Germany student visa application through VFS, could you please share your experience? Was your PCC checked or collected at the VFS center?
I'd really appreciate any recent information. Thanks in advance!
