How to write application for police verification certificate?
The process is mostly online now, so you rarely need to write a physical application. Just visit your state police's official website and search for 'Citizen Services' or 'Character Certificate'. You will find an online form. Fill in your personal details, specify the purpose, and upload scanned copies of your ID proof, like Aadhaar, and a photograph. You can also pay the required fee online. This method is much faster and more convenient.
In the subject line, clearly mention: “Application for Police Verification Certificate.” The body should introduce yourself with full name, address, and purpose of verification (job, passport, rental, etc.).
An application for a police verification certificate should be simple, respectful, and clear. Start with your address and date at the top, then the officer’s designation (e.g., “To, The Station House Officer, [Police Station Name]”).
Example content: “Respected Sir/Madam, I am [Name], residing at [address]. I kindly request you to issue a police verification certificate for [purpose]. I am enclosing copies of Aadhaar, PAN, and address proof for your reference.”
Close the application politely with: “Thanking you in anticipation, Yours faithfully, [Your Name].” Always attach photocopies of ID proofs to support your application.
