Application Processing Center

An Application Processing Center (APC) is a government or organizational facility where submitted applications—such as for visas, permits, or benefits—are reviewed and processed. Staff at the APC evaluate the submitted documents, verify information, and make decisions based on established criteria. The purpose is to ensure applications are complete, accurate, and meet the necessary requirements before approval or further action. Essentially, it's the official checkpoint that moves an application from submission toward approval or denial, helping to manage large volumes of requests efficiently and systematically.
