Character certificate kaise banaye?

Bahut se log character certificate ya charitra praman patra banwana chahte hain. Yeh ek official document hota hai jo aapke good conduct aur koi criminal record na hone ko certify karta hai.

Step 1: Relevant Portal Identify Karein

Sabse pehle, aapko apne state ke Citizen Portal ya Police Department ki official website par jaana hoga. Har state ka apna portal hota hai.

• Jaise, agar aap Uttar Pradesh se hain, toh aap UP Police ki website par check kar sakte hain.
• Agar aap Maharashtra se hain, toh Aaple Sarkar Mahaonline portal par ja sakte hain.
• Bihar ke liye, ServicePlus portal par "Aacharan Praman Patra ke liye Aavedan" ka option milta hai.

Step 2: Register Ya Login Karein

• Agar aap pehli baar portal par aa rahe hain, toh aapko naya account create karna hoga. Iske liye aapko apna naam, mobile number, email ID, aur ek password set karna hoga.
• Mobile number par OTP aayega jise verify karke aapka account ban jayega.
• Agar aapka account pehle se hai, toh seedhe login karein.

Step 3: Application Form Fill Karein

Login karne ke baad, "Character Certificate" ya "Police Clearance Certificate" ya "Charitra Praman Patra" section ko dhoondhein aur us par click karein.

• Ek online application form open hoga. Isme aapko apni saari personal details sahi-sahi bharni hongi:
  • Aapka poora naam
  • Father's/Mother's Name
  • Date of Birth (DOB)
  • Gender
  • Current Residential Address (jahan aap rehte hain)
  • Permanent Address (agar alag hai toh)
  • Duration of Stay at current address
  • Purpose of the certificate (kis liye chahiye - job, visa, education, etc.)
  • Aapko yeh bhi declare karna hoga ki aapka koi criminal record hai ya nahi. Agar nahi hai toh "No Criminal Record" select karein.
  • Relevant Police Station aur District ki details.

Step 4: Documents Upload Karein

Form bharne ke baad, aapko required documents ke scanned copies upload karne honge. Generally, yeh documents lagte hain:

• Passport-size photograph (recent wali, 200KB-300KB se kam size ki)

• Address Proof: Aadhaar Card, Utility Bill (Electricity Bill, Water Bill), Ration Card, Rent Agreement.
• Date of Birth Proof: Birth Certificate, School Certificate, Aadhaar Card.

Step 5: Application Fee Pay Karein

Application form aur documents upload karne ke baad, aapko online fee pay karni hogi.

• Uttarakhand mein ₹40 fee hai.
• Payment options mein Credit Card, Debit Card, Net Banking, UPI shamil ho sakte hain.
• BPL cardholders ke liye kuch states mein yeh free ho sakta hai.
• Payment ke baad, application receipt ya acknowledgement slip download aur print kar lein. Isme aapka Application Reference Number (ARN) hoga, jo status track karne ke kaam aayega.

Step 6: Verification Process Aur Certificate Download Karein

• Application submit hone ke baad, aapki details Police Department dwara verify ki jaati hain. Isme aapke local police station se background check aur records ki jaanch shamil hoti hai.
• Kuch cases mein, police aapke address par physical verification ke liye bhi aa sakti hai.
• Processing time generally 5 se 30 working days tak ho sakta hai. Kuch states mein 3 se 5 din bhi lag sakte hain.
• Aap apne application ka status usi portal par Application ID/Reference Number se track kar sakte hain.
• Jab verification complete ho jayega aur certificate issue ho jayega, toh aapko SMS ya Email ke through notification mil sakta hai.
• Aap portal par login karke apna character certificate download kar sakte hain. Kuch cases mein, aapko printed copy ke liye police station visit karna pad sakta hai.

Important Points:

• Sahi Jankari Bharein: Application form mein saari details accurately fill karein. Koi bhi galat jankari application reject ya delay kar sakti hai.
• Documents Ki Taiyari: Saare required documents pehle se scanned karke ready rakhein.
• Passport Seva Portal: Agar aapko Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) abroad jane ke liye chahiye (residential status, employment, long term visa, ya immigration ke liye), toh aap Passport Seva portal (passportindia.gov.in) ke through apply kar sakte hain. Tourist Visa ke liye PCC issue nahi hota. Is process mein bhi online application, document submission aur police verification shamil hota hai.
• Gazetted Officer: Kuch situations mein, aapko kisi gazetted officer (jaise Magistrate, Tehsildar, Principal, Doctor, MLA) se bhi character certificate banwana pad sakta hai. Lekin government jobs aur visa ke liye police verification wala hi zyada preferred hota hai.
