Police Cert from Passport office?

I was reading on New Delhi (US embassy) web site and they require a police certificate from local police station and one from local passport office. Anyone know what kind of cert do you get from the passport office?

Thanks

You just as for a “Police Clearance Certificate”. The passport office in Visakhapatnam gave my guy a form to fill out, and kept his passport. He returned the next day evening and his passport was returned and they gave him the PCC which was a standard form with his info typed in blank spaces (one could tell they give a lot of PCCs out!).

The village police station gave the certificate immediately and it was all typed out by hand (no standardized form).

The PCC issued by the Visakhapatnam Passport office said:

Govt of India Ministry of External Affairs Passport Office (address etc)

Police Clearance Certificate

There is no adverse information against (name) son of (name) holder of Indian Passport No -- issued at -- on -- which would render him/her ineligible for the grant of travel facilities including visa for United States of America.

The letter issued from the local police station said:

“This is to certify that -- son of -- aged --, address -- who has not been involved in any criminal case so far and no adverse report was received against him as per the records of --Police Station. His conduct and character are satisfactory to the best of my knowledge.
