What is a Delhi Police Character Verification Report?
A Character Verification Report (CVR) is a police verification service provided through the Delhi Police online system. The current Delhi Police CVR manual describes the service as an online mechanism for character verification and states that the present CVR application is intended for Ministries and State Governments for verification of their government employees.
The current portal allows eligible applicants to register online, submit verification information, upload supporting documents, monitor application status and download the certificate after successful processing.
According to the current Delhi Police CVR user manual, the CVR facility is presently intended for Ministries and State Governments for their government employees. Therefore, older webpages stating that every private individual, company or private employer can freely apply for CVR should not be relied upon without checking the current official portal.
How to Apply for Delhi Police Character Verification Report Online
The current Delhi Police system provides an online registration and application workflow. The broad procedure is as follows:
- Open the official Delhi Police PCC/CVR portal.

Registration for Delhi Police CVR
The current Delhi Police user manual provides registration through the PCC/CVR web portal. The registration process requires the applicant to select the appropriate service, enter organization information, mobile number, email address, password and captcha and complete OTP validation.
The portal also provides authentication options through supported digital services, including DigiLocker and Google account authentication, subject to the options available on the portal at the time of application.
Documents Required for Character Verification
Applicants should follow the document requirements displayed in the current online application. The current Delhi Police CVR manual identifies documents such as the following:
| Document / Information | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Applicant photograph | Identification of the person being verified. |
| 10th certificate / mark sheet | Educational and identity-related verification. |
| Photo identity proof | Identity verification through an accepted government document. |
| Residential address proof | Verification of the applicant's present address. |
| Forwarding letter | Official forwarding of the verification request by the eligible organization. |
The portal's current manual specifies file-format and size requirements for different uploads. Applicants should therefore check the live application form before preparing documents because technical requirements may be changed by Delhi Police.
Address Details in the CVR Application
The current CVR application requires the applicant's present Delhi address. The online system also permits previous Delhi addresses to be added where applicable.
Accurate address information is important because police verification may involve verification of the applicant's residential details and police records.
Criminal Case Information
The application requires criminal-case information where applicable. If the applicant has no criminal cases, the relevant option can be selected in the application.
If criminal cases exist, the applicant should provide complete and accurate information requested by the portal. The current CVR manual allows multiple criminal-case records, including cases registered in different States.
Application Status and CVR Certificate Download
After login, the dashboard provides information about submitted applications and their status. The current system provides facilities for viewing applications, managing drafts, tracking verification and downloading the certificate after it has been issued.
Possible Application Stages
- Draft: Application has been saved but not finally submitted.
- Under Verification: Application is undergoing processing/verification.
- Certificate Issued: The verification has been processed and the certificate is available for download.
- Rejected: Application has not been approved at the relevant stage.
The applicant should log in to the official portal to view the latest status rather than relying on a fixed processing period mentioned on older websites.
What is the CVR Number?
The online application generates a reference/application number through the Delhi Police CVR system. Keep the number and submitted application details safely because they may be required for tracking the application and accessing the certificate.
Delhi Police CVR and Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)
Character Verification Report and Police Clearance Certificate are separate services on the Delhi Police PCC/CVR platform. The appropriate service should be selected according to the purpose for which the document is required.
A person requiring a PCC for employment, immigration, visa, foreign travel or another specific purpose should check the eligibility and requirements displayed on the current PCC application before submitting a request.

Privacy and Protection of Personal Information
Character verification applications involve personal information and supporting identity/address documents. Applicants should submit such information only through the official Delhi Police portal and should avoid sharing passwords, OTPs or confidential documents with unauthorized persons.
India's data-protection framework includes the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025. The applicability and commencement of particular provisions should be checked against the latest official notifications and government material.
Important Legal and Procedural Update
India's criminal-law framework has been substantially updated following the commencement of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 from 1 July 2024, subject to the statutory commencement provisions.
The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 as the principal criminal procedure statute from 1 July 2024. Police verification and criminal-record information should therefore be understood in the context of the current legal framework and applicable Delhi Police procedures.
