Passport Clearance Certificate India

[Bec_Dipu 103]

Can you get a passport clearance certificate from the nearest passport office in India (in our case, New Delhi) or does the beneficiary need to travel back to the passport office that issued the passport several years ago (in our case, Guwahati, Assam)?

My fiance is having a lot of trouble trying to obtain a PCC from the Guwahati passport office and is only able to stay in Guwahati through the end of April. He already has a police clearance certificate from New Delhi and the New Delhi passport office seems to be much more efficient, so if we are allowed to go there, it might be much easier for him.

Thanks for any input!

For passport clearance do you mean the same as a police clearance? I think it wouldn't matter where you went..although others on here may know better than I..My fiance has to jump through a few hoops to get his from a country he is no longer living in..Directions I saw say it has to be from the country; I never saw anything specifying cities..Someone please correct me if needed!

Because his passport is older than 6 months, he has to get both a police clearance certificate based on his current residence and a passport clearance certificate. I'm not really sure what the purpose of the passport clearance certificate is but whatever he read online said "originating passport office" which would be in Guwahati. When I went to the New Delhi embassy website, it stated:

Indian citizens residing in India for six months or more since turning 16 years of age must present Indian police clearance certificates from both their district police station and the local area passport office.

So I guess my question is local area literally local to his current address or local from when it was issued?

Has anyone from India ever gotten his/her passport clearance certificate at a different office than the one that issue his/her passport? If so, did you have any problems doing this?
