PCC Local police station - India ?

[htrak]

Dude - A local verification is not just done by a constable visiting your address in India (where you no longer live at the time of applying the PCC). There are other ways of checking your records. A local police officer only visits when you apply for a passport in India.

And further to your question - I am so sure on this as I got PCCs for myself and my spouse and have lot of friends who got the PCCs and nobody visited our homes in India.

In my case, the reference form that I sent along with the PCC application was sent to the local police station in India. Had my father not been visiting the police station every other day to check the status, I am sure someone from the station would have visited my address. This doesn't happen on majority of the cases (example: my wife - the reference form was not sent to India), but it does happen on few cases.

At the time of applying for passport, police verification should happen. But in case of renewals or for some Tatkal passports, verification doesn't happen and will be in pending. When you apply for PCC, CGI would check their database, and if the database says that your verification is done, then they would issue the PCC immediately, if it says pending then they would send it to India for verification. This is the time that local police would visit your home...

I would suggest, send your dad to your local area police station and get one with sub inspector seal and signature. Most probably they will suggest you to go to nearby your district commissionaire office, there your dad has to fill the form, provide your current address, copy of your indian passport with one photo. They will issue the one with some police file no, seal and signature..which will look really professional. now let your dad make a copy of both and courier the originals to you and add it to your CEC app package!!!

what my lawyer advised me to do and what i did practically...I hope it helps! best of luck!

Arun: thank you for the reply... I dont think this is possible for me (or my dad) to do..

If your passport was issued in India (not tatkal) at one of the metropolitan cities, please go ahead and apply at the BLS Brampton or Toronto. Most probably you should get your PCC in about less than 2-6 weeks 60% of the time and about 3 months 30% of the time and I would leave the 10% to your bad luck with CGI

My passport was issued in Toronto and I got my PCC in less than 2 weeks, whereas my spouse's passport was issued in another Non-Indian country and is still pending (about 3 months now), however recently police visited my spouse's home in India for verification and I am hoping we should receive my spouse's PCC as well soon.

Getting PCC from India is easy and as far as I have been told by my well-wishers and friends is that it is accepted by CIC.
Your parent (father or mother) need to request for a PCC from the Commissioners office in your city where your passport was issued.
I got this done for my spouse when I felt there was a delay in the PCC request submitted here at BLS Toronto.

I know it can test your patience - good luck!

Apply for PCC from BLS Toronto, as mentioned by "av300812" you would get your PCC in within 4-6 weeks...
