Now, you don’t need to visit police station for passport verification in Gujarat

A key aspect is that “there will be no need to call the passport applicants in person at the police station for the verification process.  During the police verification, only the citizenship of the applicant and their criminal history are to be verified.”

Further, “The police are not required to separately verify the address of the passport applicants. Not only this, the police are not required to meet the applicant in person or take the applicant’s signature. In cases where the police find anything suspicious or need to do further verification, the police will have to visit the place of residence only in exceptional cases. However, even in these cases, there is no need to call the applicant to the police station.”
