Some countries only have one one type of police certificate. There's no Passport Office Certificate. You may want to find out this information. If your country offers, the passport office police certificate, you should include that with your packet.

agree with IndigoSkies. But India requires one unfortunately.

I am unclear as well.

If I understand correctly only one is needed police certificate or passport certificate.

My husband is from Gujarat as well. He was saying it takes longer to get passport certificate. He is in process of getting police certificate tmm is 5th day in tht process i hope he gets it tmm.

So, if both police and passport certificate are required. How long does it take to get passport certificate ?

Please help. I look forward for your responses.

Thanks VJ'ers
