The status for my Passport application on the site states: Police verification is not clear and application is under review at Regional Passport Office.
The two SMS’s I received from the passport office are as follows:
i)Police has submitted Clear report for your previous address (where I stayed for 18 months)
ii) Police has submitted Adverse report for your current address ( Where I have stayed for less than 1 year)
Upon checking with the police station, they mentioned that “because I have not been residing at the current address for more than a year”, I will get an adverse report. This despite submitting notorized copies of the following:
1) Registered Lease agreement duly notorised
2) Electricity bills
3) Signatures of neighbors and those of witnesses along with their Aadhar card copies
4) My Aadhar card copy giving my permanent address
5) Marriage Certification duly notorised
6) Old Passport copy duly notorised
7) Employment letter indicating current address
8) Bank Account with Statement indicating current address.
The police department also mentioned that this adverse report will generally NOT be a hindrance in the issue of the passport as all documents they required have been submitted and also because the previous address was “clear”.
The police department sends the hardcopy of all the documents you give to the passport office for police verification. The passport office checks the documents. Even if your police verification for the current address is ADVERSE because of your stay in the current address for LESS than a year, but your previous address has been verified by the police and mentioned as “Clear”, YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR PASSPORT. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO RE-APPLY FOR A POLICE VERIFICATION.
In the event you are required to do a police verification for some other issue pertaining to your passport, you will need to personally visit the Regional passport office and stand in queue to receive a form from a counter. The first 100-200 candidates will be admitted in and you will be asked to produce the relevant documents. The office is generally open on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday only. So go very early in the morning and stand in queue.
Best of luck and don't worry. Things will get sorted.
