Police verification for reissue of passport is not required in every case. Requirement depends on your previous passport record, reason for reissue, changes in your personal details, and instructions given by Passport Office. Some applicants may get passport reissued without fresh police verification. Others may need pre-police verification or post-police verification.You can check which process applies to your application and what happens after you submit your passport reissue application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_87_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/2026\/09\/28\/police-verification-for-reissue-of-passport\/#Is_police_verification_required_for_reissue_of_passport\" >Is police verification required for reissue of passport<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/2026\/09\/28\/police-verification-for-reissue-of-passport\/#When_is_police_verification_not_required\" >When is police verification not required?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/2026\/09\/28\/police-verification-for-reissue-of-passport\/#Pre-Police_Verification_vs_Post-Police_Verification\" >Pre-Police Verification vs. Post-Police Verification<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/2026\/09\/28\/police-verification-for-reissue-of-passport\/#When_does_Pre-Police_Verification_happen\" >When does Pre-Police Verification happen?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/2026\/09\/28\/police-verification-for-reissue-of-passport\/#When_does_Post-Police_Verification_happen\" >When does Post-Police Verification happen?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/2026\/09\/28\/police-verification-for-reissue-of-passport\/#Process_for_Police_Verification_for_Reissue_of_Passport\" >Process for Police Verification for Reissue of Passport<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/2026\/09\/28\/police-verification-for-reissue-of-passport\/#1_Submit_passport_reissue_application\" >1.

Requirement depends on details of your application and verification instructions issued by Passport Office. Fresh police verification may not be required for some straightforward reissue applications where personal details remain unchanged and previous passport records meet applicable conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Police verification may be required in situations such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Change of address:<\/strong> You have moved to a new address and want to update it in your passport.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Change of name or other details:<\/strong> You want to update personal information in your passport.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Long-expired passport:<\/strong> Your previous passport has been expired for a longer period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lost or damaged passport:<\/strong> You are applying for reissue because your previous passport was lost, stolen, or damaged.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/tatkal-passport-india\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"931\">Tatkaal application<\/a>:<\/strong> Your application is submitted under Tatkaal and is subject to the applicable verification process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Passport Office requirement:<\/strong> Passport Office may ask for police verification based on your application or previous records.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No single rule applies to every reissue application. Reissue of passport police verification depends on the information in your application and the verification decision for your case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_police_verification_not_required\"><\/span>When is police verification not required?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fresh police verification may not be required for some reissue applications where personal details have not changed and applicable conditions are met. For example, you may not need fresh verification when you reissue your passport because it is expiring and there is no change in your name, address, or other personal information. Final verification requirements can still vary by application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pre-Police_Verification_vs_Post-Police_Verification\"><\/span>Pre-Police Verification vs. Post-Police Verification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Police verification can happen either before or after passport issuance.Difference between these two processes is mainly about when police verification takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_does_Pre-Police_Verification_happen\"><\/span>When does Pre-Police Verification happen?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pre-police verification takes place before passport issuance or dispatch. Police authorities may verify details such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your identity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Current residential address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Previous passport details<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Documents submitted with your application<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other information provided in your application<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some applications may require verification when you change details such as your address or name. Police authorities will contact you or visit your address to confirm the information provided in your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Passport reissue police verification can follow different procedures based on your application and the instructions from the Passport Office. If pre-police verification is required, you may need to complete verification before your passport is issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_does_Post-Police_Verification_happen\"><\/span>When does Post-Police Verification happen?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Post-police verification takes place after passport issuance or dispatch. Passport will be issued first, followed by police verification if such verification has been ordered for your application. Some reissue applications may follow this process based on previous passport records and other application details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No police verification and post-police verification are not the same thing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No verification means police verification is not required for your application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Post-verification means police verification is still required, but it takes place after passport issuance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Process_for_Police_Verification_for_Reissue_of_Passport\"><\/span>Process for Police Verification for Reissue of Passport<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow these simple steps to apply for a passport re-issue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Submit_passport_reissue_application\"><\/span>1.
