DGCA often will mean "Directorate General of Civil Aviation", and the head of this/these organizations are "Directors"... Change the order of the letters to DGAC, and it is the same thing then in other languages, such as French, or Spanish etc... i.e.
Direction génerale de l'aviation civile...

And of course other countries, other languages, other initials...
i.e. Germany is "LBA" - Luft Bundes Amt...
Belgium has "Administration de l'Aéronautique"
I am too old to remember other examples...

knma -
I dont have the rest of your text there, but your probably see it with something like "your licence must be approved by this nation's DGCA"... like a US company would write "FAA certificate"... bla bla bla... You are probably looking at a job overseas, so expect them to use some different names and definitions, for documents, or licenses. Yes, you must have documents issued by other countries if you fly airplanes registered in other countries or operated by foreign companies, etc...
