• Adverse police verification

I applied and got my passport under tatkaal. The police verification also took place for which I provided all my document. However, I received a 'adverse police verification letter' which states that they could not verify my criminality since I have been staying at the new address (where my elder sister is a tenant) only for the past 7 days. I have been pursuing a master's degree in Nepal (ending this year) hence I haven't been staying in Delhi. Since 2008 to 2021 I lived with my sister in Delhi and had also issued my older passport with her Delhi address. 

The letter states that I need to respond within 10 days however the appointment at RPO Delhi is only available after two weeks.

How should I proceed. Please guide.

You resided from 2008 to 2021 for 13 years in Delhi. You need to obtain verification from the  police where you resided at different times. Enclosing letter from police you can seek extension of time from rpo.

If you have received a letter by post then you issue a reply letter explaining the situation and the background details and your innocence of the law 8involved in this. 

You can send your reply by post to the passport office immediately and don't have to hesitate because of the ensuing appointment with RPO on the later date.

The new passport is pending approval owing to the discrepancy notified to you. 

Hence it may not be advisable to travel abroad with this deficient passport. 

You send the reply immediately with the factual details in brief,  don't try to give any justification for this lapse on your side because you are supposed to understand the law before submitting the application for reissue of passport hence ignorance of law cannot be considered as an excuse. 

You can carry the hard copy of the reply letter and supporting documents that you rely upon to sympathize your case.

It is mandatory that you have to provide the address where you resided for last 6 months prior to submitting an application for reissue of your passport. 

You are not staying in your sister's address after the year 2021.

Therefore it is pertinent that you furnish documentary evidences to prove your residential address where you stayed for 6 months or more prior to date of application for reissue of passport. 

Your sister cannot vouch for you and any letter from her stating that you were residing with her till the year 2021 will further spoil your application. 

Instead, if you really want to solve the problem forever,  you may issue a reply giving the factual details about your residence for the last six months or more. 

If you try to furnish false information again then you will face the problem of getting your passport application rejected and the current passport may be liable to be confiscated. 

Think wise and take proper decision at right time.

1) it should mention that you have been residing with her for last 3 years .

 

2) it can be typed or handwritten 

 

3) no documents are needed to be enclosed by your sister 

 

4) student I’d card and mark sheets are sufficient 

 

5) enclose your Aadhar card

Dear Client,

Clearly explain your situation that you have been pursuing your master’s degree in Nepal, hence the short duration of stay at your new address. State that from 2008 to 2021, you lived with your sister in Delhi, which is the address on your older passport. Provide any kind of proof you have such as, your mark sheets, student ID card, admission letter, and email correspondence with professor. Attach your updated Aadhaar Card and SBI passbook with the current address.

A letter from your sister should contain information regarding your long-term satay with her, your study period in Nepal, her contact details, etc. Typed is preferable, but a handwritten letter is also acceptable. It should be concise and formally addressed to the Regional Passport Office. Based on the urgency and the notice, you may try to visit the RPO Delhi as a walk-in. Bring all your documents, the letter from your sister, and the adverse police verification notice. At the RPO, explain the urgency due to your upcoming travel and capstone project in Nepal.

Traveling with a passport that has an adverse police verification is not advisable. There might be issues at immigration if the passport is flagged. It’s best to confirm with the RPO whether you can travel with the new passport under the current circumstances. Should you require any further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.

- As per law, to obtain a passport, you do not need to have a permanent address. However, when applying for the renewal of the passport with a temporary address, you must have valid proof of your current address where you are staying.

- Further, he is required to mention all the places of stay during previous one year from the date of application filling in the Passport application form.

- Yes, you can submit an affidavit with a letter after mentioning that at the time of applying the passport you was residing with your sister on the said address. 

- Further, you can mention that during this 7 days period you was out of the country and earlier to this you was residing at the sisters address.
