What are various Police Verification modes for passport?

There are 2 modes of police verification:

1. Police Verification is required on a Post-Passport Issuance basis.
2. Police Verification is required on Pre-Passport Issuance basis.

Depending on whether an application is for issue of fresh passport or re-issue of passport, Passport Office (PO) shall decide whether Police Verification is required for issuance of Passport to you. In most cases, of issue of fresh passport, pre-police verification would be required, exception being Government servants on submission of 'Identity Certificate' as per Annexure 'A', or minors whose parent(s) hold valid passport etc.
