The topic of PCC is discussed here: https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=570818

>>> Am planning to process for PCC, legalization of birth certificate in March itself so that I can immediately submit docs for spouse visa approval. Will this cause any legal issue as I am doing all these things well ahead of marriage.

-----> Normally No. PCC is valid for 6 months from it's date of issue. State attestation and MEA Apostile stamp (which is needed on birth certificate, marriage certificate and PCC) is also valid for 6 months from its date of stamping. Please note that most of the files for family re-union visa are now being sent to Belgium (foreign office) to make decision. The processing time (as per current trend) is 3-4 months. So, it is good to make sure the documents/PCC (or attestation on them) wont be more than 6 months old by the time the file is picked for processing here. (just to be on safer side).
