Is there any post police verification for passport


19-Apr-2023 (In Civil Law)
I was a student when I applied for a normal passport in 2012 from Cachar district, Assam, while my hometown is Jorhat district in the same state. The passport was issued in 2013 after police verification in Cachar police station but it was given an adverse report only today (19th April 2017) in Jorhat police station due to my unavailability for second police verification, as I am currently living in Bangalore doing my PhD. The police station had called me earlier but I requested for two months time which they agreed. I have not received any official letter of adverse report but only been communicated by the Commissioner's office when my parent's visited the same to ask for an extension on the verification process. The police had to go back on their promise of allowing me two months due to some official pressure. Please let me know of the procedure that I should follow now. I have an upcoming travel to US for an internship related to my studies and am worried.

The first thing that you do is when you apply for renewal to give current address. Go to the passport office in Bangalore, give them your current address and the jurisdictional police station name so that they can verify and issue the passport

You can initially write to the concerned police station and the Superintendent of Police about your present stay at Bangalore and later on you can meet the Superintendent of Police and explain every thing. Problem should get solved.

The Consular Passport and Visa (CPV) Division of the Ministry of External Affairs is responsible for issuance of Indian Passport to the Indian Citizens. This document is issued from 28 locations across the country and 160 Indian missions abroad. The passport can be applied in the passport office, having your present address area in its jurisdiction.

To apply for a passport, you have to obtain an application form from the Passport Office or the designated Speed Post Centers or any of the designated outlets in your city. Along with the duly filled application form, you have to submit proof of residence, date of birth, change of name, documents for ECNR, expired passport (if any), passport size photographs etc.

All self-attested copies of certificates/documents would be checked against originals at the Passport Office at the time of submission of application. A Gazetted Officer should attest copies of certificates/documents sent by post.

The normal time taken for issuance of a passport is five to six weeks. However in case of an emergency you can apply for a fresh or duplicate passport under the 'Tatkaal' scheme. The Tatkaal Scheme allows passports to be issued on payment of additional fee over and above the normal passport application fee. The 'Tatkaal' Scheme would only be applicable in cases where either the police verification report is not required (minors less than 15 years of age) or where a passport can be issued on post police verification basis (duplicate passport/re-issue of passport without change in address, Government servants with NOC and their spouses and applications with Verification Certificates).
