Obtaining a police certificate in New Delhi India

[Bec_Dipu 103]

Can anyone tell me how to obtain a police clearance certificate in New Delhi, India if my fiance's passport is more than 6 months old?

Can he still go to the passport office (the passport was issued in Guwahati 5.5 years ago) or only the police station?

If the police station is required, where is it and what does he do when he gets there? How long does it usually take? Does he have to receive Packet 3 first or can we start the process now?

Thanks for any help you can give us!

You need police certificate from both, local police station as well as from the passport office....

Police certificate from local police station will take some time...but you can get a police certificate from passport office within the same day.

Thanks Rahul! Do you mind if I ask you a few more questions?

What was the process like at the police station? Do you just go to the front desk and fill out a form? I read somewhere online that one person's experience was that the police came to his house and he had to bribe them and then he had to have neighbors write letters that he was a good person and provide copies of their passports with the letters. Does this kind of stuff really happen? Any more specific information you can give about what your process or your loved one's process was like is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!

Sorry for the delay in response.

OK, He needs to go to the local police station & fill a form. Also he needs to pay a Demand Draft of some rupees in favor of "Deputy Commissinor of Police" After that the local police station will send his case to Crime Investigation Department. Then a local police officer will come to his house & inquire with neighbours about his character. Yes neighbours have to write a letter about his character & how long they know him.

Yes the best & fastest way is to bribe them so that they can do it quickly. Otherwise they will delay it & you never gonna get it.

Once he got the police certificate then go to the Local Passport office & apply for the Police Clearence Certificate from there as well. In most of the cases, It only takes one day & he does not need to bribe any one. Just fill the form & pay the fee & they will give that certificate on the same day.

Also, its my pleasure that you asked me this questions. I would be more that happy to answer any other question if you have for me as I have handled all those K1 visa procedures in New Delhi.

All the best

Rahul

Update:

My fiance went to his local police station in Delhi and filled out the form to request the PCC.

A few days later, a policeman showed up and gave him a business card and told him he had to call another policeman to make an appointment for two witnesses to come to the station and sign a statement that they know Dipu and he is of good character.

Today, Dipu took two coworkers to his appointment, but the policeman would not let them attest because they do not live on the same block as Dipu. He said that Dipu has to bring two witnesses who live in the same block with their identification.

BIG PROBLEM! Dipu has three roommates but they all still have identification showing their address from 5 years ago before they moved into their current apartment with Dipu. Dipu sticks to himself, so he doesn't have a relationship with anyone else in his building other than his roommates who would make a 1/2 day trip to teh police station to attest for him.

Has anyone else ever encountered this problem? How did you get around it? Any ideas on how we can proceed from here?
