Punjab Police : In a major step to curb document fraud and enhance security, following the directives of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, Punjab Police has introduced a QR code-based authentication system for Police Clearance Certificates (PCCs). This initiative ensures a secure and reliable method for verifying PCC authenticity, which is crucial for employment, visas, and other official requirements.
Providing details, Special Director General of Police (Special DGP) of the Community Affairs Division stated that under this new system, each PCC will be embedded with a unique QR code. Upon scanning, the code will direct users to a secure online copy of the certificate hosted on the official Punjab Police website (https://certificate.ppsaanjh.in), enabling instant and accurate verification. This security enhancement effectively prevents counterfeit PCCs, ensuring that only genuine certificates are accepted by employers and authorities.
Additionally, Punjab Police has advised users to ensure that the official website (https://certificate.ppsaanjh.in) is accessed when downloading the PCC through the QR code scan.
