• Police Verification for Passport

<p>
Dear friend, thank you for your appreciation. Yes, there are several people who have been able to get the passport verification without paying a bribe. Actually, the police cannot do anything, particularly if you complain to the passport office. The website of the passport office also has a system of verifying where the passport is. I would suggest that you apply for a passport well in advance, so that the police cannot put you in a weak position, because you are in a hurry. Some level of Gandhigiri may also be very useful. Please follow some of the advice given by a well &nbsp;wisher, whose views I reproduce below.</p>
<p>
&nbsp;(1) Do not be submissive. Look confident. Look corrupt officials in the eye.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
(2) Call him by his name. Ask him for his name, if he is not wearing his identity badge. In fact, ask him why he is not wearing his identity badge? Do not call him Sir. Be polite but do not show unnecessary respect.&nbsp; Be firm and confident.</p>
<p>
(3) Read download and carry the FAQs the points that we have mentioned above Talk about the Right to Information Act also. Nearly always, such officials are always afraid of knowledgeable&nbsp; people.</p>
<p>
(4) He may make you wait. But if he makes you wait for long, complain loudly. Say that you will complain to higher authorities.</p>
<p>
(5) If he tries to browbeat you or divert you with some long story, cut him short and ask him how much bribe he wants. Loudly, so that others also hear what you are saying. Then say that you will pay him if he gives you a receipt. Or make it very clear that you will not pay him one paisa. And that you will sit in front of him till he gives you the certificate.</p>
<p>
(6) You can also try some Gandhigiri and pay him in zero rupee notes. These can be downloaded from</p>

<p>
(7) Carry another mobile with you and record the conversation on it. You will then have evidence to pursue the case with higher authorities. &nbsp;</p>
<p>
Dont be afraid. Remember, the smallest action is much better than the most noble intention.</p>
<p>
Now its up to you to go ahead and use some of these!</p>
<p>
Also, I hope that someone responsible in the police are reading the posts that appear on this website and is serious about taking action.</p>
