Police Character Certificate is required for travelling abroad, jobs in different organizations abroad, immigration etc. Previously, getting character certificate was a complex and time-taking process not just for citizens but for the police too. PKM has simplified and made it time-efficient. The citizen can now apply for Character Certificate from any center all over Punjab rather than physically visiting that particular district/address for which character certificate is required. For example, if the citizen is currently living in Lahore and wants to get a certificate from Sahiwal (where he/she lived previously), he/she can apply for it directly from PKM in Lahore instead of going all the way to Sahiwal.
