The Widely Applicable Information Criterion (WAIC) is a cornerstone of Bayesian model selection, but its conditional independence assumption renders it inappropriate for sequential and spatially correlated data - a limitation that leads to systematically underestimated model complexity and over-optimistic predictive assessments. We introduce CC-WAIC, a principled generalization of WAIC that explicitly incorporates the full posterior covariance structure of log-likelihood contributions. CC-WAIC reduces exactly to WAIC when independence holds, making it a natural extension rather than an ad-hoc modification. To overcome the prohibitive computational cost of the full covariance matrix, we develop a linear-time implementation using a banded covariance approximation that reduces complexity, with theoretical guarantees on the approximation error. We further introduce an effective sample size correction to mitigate finite-sample bias in MCMC estimation. Through extensive simulations on Hidden Markov Models and real-world applications to Old Faithful geyser data and S&P 500 volatility modelling, we demonstrate that CC-WAIC substantially outperforms WAIC, LOO-CV, iWAIC, and WAICNF, particularly under strong temporal dependence and limited sample sizes. The proposed criterion offers a computationally scalable and theoretically grounded tool for Bayesian model selection in the dependent data settings that are ubiquitous across modern science. Limitations include reliance on exponential mixing and exact conditional likelihoods; extensions to long-memory processes and approximate inference are discussed.
