• Police verification adverse report

I need your attention urgently. After three years of living in London, I misplaced my passport there. for applying for the new passport they had stated that an Indian address would be required for verification while applying for the new passport. when I explained that nobody resides at the address I now have on my passport and Aadhar card. They have instructed me to ask my sister to provide evidence of address her passport and an affidavit for police verification. 
After receiving my passport, I went to her residence in India. The police later arrived for the police verification
I showed them my new passport, and gave them the rental agreement for the last four years of my sister's present residence as well as her identification (passport, Adhar card) with her current address. I can provide documentation of my UK address if they need it.
According to the police,they have submittedthe adverse report to the embassy stating that i dont live here with my sister.. Please let me know how we can handle this. I need to be in the UK right away because my visa is being extended and my return is scheduled for May 17.
Could you please assist me with the resolution, or could you please let me know if I can travel on my new passport with an adverse police report?

you should not be stopped as you have valid passport 

 

you can apply for rev verification . approach RPO 

 

If you've been staying at the current address for less than 12 months, provide necessary address proofs from your previous residences

 

 

If you disagree with the adverse report or the RPO's decision, you can file an appeal through the Passport Seva portal.

You can travel with a new passport even if there is an adverse police report, as long as the passport is valid and not flagged for cancellation. However, the adverse report may affect future services (e.g. visa renewal, OCI card, or future passports).

To resolve the adverse report:

  1. Submit a representation to the Regional Passport Office (RPO) where police verification was done. Include:

    • Affidavit from your sister.

    • Affidavit from the landlord.

    • Sister’s passport and Aadhar with current address.

    • Rental agreement (past 4 years).

    • Your HDFC passbook with the same address.

    • Any proof of your UK residence (if needed).

    • Explanation letter about your situation and urgency (visa extension, return ticket on May 17).

  2. Ask the Indian embassy in London to reopen your police verification file and clarify the situation. Provide the above documents.

  3. Keep copies of all documents while traveling in case of questioning.

If your address is at UK while applying for passport then there is no necessity to live in the Indian address. The Indian address may be insisted to prove that you have relationship in India. 

You need to furnish an Indian address in the passport application form.

Police verification is required for passport re-issuance.

The Indian address provided is where police authorities will conduct the verification.

You will also need to provide your current address in the UK as part of the application.

Since you have a passport you can very well proceed however your documentary evidences stand not verified hence you may face problems after reaching there at UK to validate your passport 

Since you are not staying at your current address in India, Police verification will not be clear and you will have to visit RPO , as process is different for cases like you.

  1. After misplacing your pp, you applied for fresh pp with Indian High Court in London and a fresh pp is issued to you though local police gave adverse report with regard to you place of residence.
  2. After issue of fresh pp all issues with address, proof of id are resolved. The pp is vlaid and subsisting in spite of adverse report of police.
  3. You can very much travel to India without any problem.
