What are various Police Verification modes for passport?

Answered on March 03,2018
There are 2 modes of police verification:
- Police Verification is required on a Post-Passport Issuance basis.
- Police Verification is required on Pre-Passport Issuance basis.
Depending on whether an application is for issue of fresh passport or re-issue of passport, Passport Office (PO) shall decide whether Police Verification is required for issuance of Passport to you. In most cases, of issue of fresh passport, pre-police verification would be required, exception being Government servants on submission of 'Identity Certificate' as per Annexure 'A', or minors whose parent(s) hold valid passport etc.
If your age is 18 or above, you must submit Aadhaar Card/ letter/ e-Aadhaar containing 12-digit Aadhaar number/ 28-digit Aadhaar Enrolment ID printed on Aadhaar Enrolment slip issued by Unique Identification Authority Of India (UIDAI), and any two documents from List of Acceptable Documents along with Standard Affidavit (as per Annexure "E").
Annexure E is available at http://passportindia.g..
If your age is below 18 years, you must submit Aadhaar Card/ letter/ e-Aadhaar containing 12-digit Aadhaar number/ 28-digit Aadhaar Enrolment ID printed on Aadhaar Enrolment slip issued by Unique Identification Authority Of India (UIDAI), and any one document from List of Acceptable Documents along with Standard Affidavit (as per Annexure "E"). The general rules, regulations and procedures pertaining to issue of passports as stipulated in Passports Act and Passports Rule would apply. In most cases of re-issue, depending on records available in the Passport Seva system, police verification may not be required or only post police verification may be required, exceptions being re-issue of passport in lieu of lost passport or complete change of name.
