Hello guys, I already asked a couple of people for help, thought I should post it here and get additional help.

My husband can not get his passport clearance certificate from DELHI, they keep telling him that since he did not receive his passport from this office he can not get one, unless he renews his passport. He was told that he can only get it from his state -where he got his passport.

He's been living in Delhi since 2003. He lives and works there, he even has his ID to show that his current residency is Delhi. The people from the office keep telling him that he can't get it from there. He did get a PCC from the Police Station in Delhi.

What should he say or do, they're not giving it to him. Any advice?

My passport had UP state address, and I got the PCC from Chennai within same day.

US Consulate needs PCC from passport office only. Did he try to get PCC from Passport Seva Kendra? Since they are very friendly to take care of such things.

Yes he did -he also printed the information from the US EMBASSY in New Delhi -Where it says Passport Clearance must be from Regional/Local Passport Office and took it with him.

Passport Seva Kendra must have to issue the PCC if he can provide the necessary doc:

Check the doc requirement here: http://www.passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/docAdvisor/pccPassport

If his passport address is different than his existing address, then he needs to provide:

#1 - Old passport in original with self-attested photocopy of its first two and last two pages including ECR/Non-ECR page and page of observation (if any).

#2 - Proof of Present Address

It is mentioned on Passport Seva Kendra website. PSK should be easy to deal. Make sure, if he really attempted to get PCC from PSK, but not from local passport office.

Thank you, We'll have to try again. We do need this PCC.

When you guys talk about PCC.

1) What is it EXACTLY that US Embassy wants?

PCC : Police Clearance Certificate?

or

PCC: Passport Clearance Certificate?

2) What does it say in the letter from US Embassy?

Thank you! :thumbs:

They want PCC from Passport Office only. I was told this by US Consulate Official, Chennai.

Okay, let me make this clear to you as there seems to be some confusion in this regard.

1. If your Indian passport was issued/renewed within the last six months, then you only need a Passport Clearance Certificate from the Passport Office that issued it.

2. If your Indian passport was issued over six months or earlier, then

a. You need to get a Passport Clearance Certificate from the issuing Passport Office.

b. You need to get a Police Clearance Certificate from the local police station/police stations of all cities you've lived in for over six months since the age of 16.

I'd suggest your husband approaches the Passport Seva Kendra and get his passport renewed if possible with the Delhi address. PSKs are quick in this regard and he should get his passport in a week's time. If not, then he better get the Passport Clearance from the office that issued it plus a Police Clearance from the local police station.

He did get a PCC from the passport office where his passport was issued.

He also got a PCC from the Police Station from his hometown and Delhi (the only 2 cities he has reside).

So, by what you're telling me we got what we needed right? I don't need the PCC from the Passport Office in Delhi since he didn't get his passport from there? :thumbs:

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU!

If you got both of these one from passport office and one from police, then thats all he needs.

Why is he trying to get passport clearance from Delhi? When you first asked me, I was assuming he did not have a clerance from passport office.

Thanks. I thought he also needs one from the place he currently lives. But if he only needs the PCC from the Police Station then we're good to go. He did get a PCC from the passport office in his state. Phew! Sorry for the confusion, I was stressing too much that he couldn't get one from Delhi that I forgot to mention that he got one from his hometown. :bonk:
