Delhi Police FIR Search Online: View, Check Status & Download FIR Copy

Search & View FIR Online - Delhi Police

Delhi Police provides an official View FIR facility through which members of the public can search and view FIRs registered with Delhi Police, subject to the applicable publication restrictions.

The current Delhi Police website provides separate access for:

FIRs registered from 1 July 2015 onwards
Property Theft Cases (e-FIR)
Motor Vehicle Theft Cases (e-FIR)

The current portal no longer presents the old "before 01-07-2015" option on its main View FIR page. Therefore, older instructions that divide FIR searches into "before 1 July 2015" and "from 1 July 2015" should be updated.

Official Delhi Police View FIR Portal

To search for an FIR, visit the official Delhi Police View FIR page:

Delhi Police - View FIR :
https://delhipolice.gov.in/viewfir

The current Delhi Police website lists View FIR under Citizen Services. It also provides separate services for Theft e-FIR and Motor Vehicle Theft e-FIR.

How to Search and View FIR Online with Delhi Police

Step 1: Visit the Delhi Police View FIR page

Open:

Delhi Police View FIR:
https://delhipolice.gov.in/viewfir

The page currently displays three principal options:

1. From 01-07-2015
2. Property Theft Cases (e-FIR)
3. M. V. Theft Cases (e-FIR)

Step 2: Select the appropriate FIR category

Select View under the category applicable to your FIR.

For an ordinary FIR registered from 1 July 2015 onwards, use From 01-07-2015.

For property theft e-FIRs, use Property Theft Cases (e-FIR).

For motor vehicle theft e-FIRs, use M. V. Theft Cases (e-FIR).

Search FIR Registered From 1 July 2015

Select View under From 01-07-2015 on the Delhi Police View FIR page.

The search facility is provided through the Delhi Police CCTNS citizen portal.

Delhi Police CCTNS FIR Search:
Delhi Police CCTNS FIR Search

Depending on the current portal configuration, you may be asked to provide information such as:

District
Police Station
FIR Number
Year
FIR date or date range

Enter the available information and submit the search.

Can I search without the FIR number?

The available search fields and mandatory requirements can change as Delhi Police updates its CCTNS portal. Therefore, users should follow the fields marked mandatory on the live search page rather than relying on older instructions stating that the FIR number is always optional.

Search Property Theft e-FIR
Delhi Police has a separate online facility for Property Theft Cases (e-FIR).

Delhi Police Property Theft FIR Search:
Property Theft e-FIR Portal

The current Property Theft FIR portal displays an option to enter a mobile number to download the FIR.

This is an important change from older versions of the website, which displayed a general search form requiring fields such as:

FIR Number
Year
District
Police Station
FIR date range
Complainant name

The current live portal should be followed for the fields and authentication method actually required at the time of search.

Steps to View Property Theft e-FIR

1. Open the Delhi Police View FIR page.
2. Select Property Theft Cases (e-FIR).
3. Open the current Property Theft FIR portal.
4. Enter the mobile number or other information requested by the portal.
5. Complete any verification/authentication required.
6. Download or view the FIR if it is available.

Search Motor Vehicle Theft e-FIR

Delhi Police also provides a separate portal for Motor Vehicle Theft (MVT) e-FIR.

Delhi Police Motor Vehicle Theft FIR Portal:
Motor Vehicle Theft e-FIR Portal

The current MVT View FIR portal displays an option to enter a mobile number to download the FIR.

Steps

1. Open the Delhi Police View FIR page.
2. Select M. V. Theft Cases (e-FIR).
3. Open the MVT FIR portal.
4. Enter the mobile number requested by the portal.

Are All Delhi Police FIRs Available Online?
No.

Delhi Police does not make every FIR publicly viewable without restriction.

Delhi Police's latest available information under its RTI Manual states that FIRs registered at police stations, except cases categorised as "Sensitive" by the concerned Additional DCP/DCP, are uploaded to the Delhi Police website. The document states that such FIRs are uploaded within 24 hours in compliance with the Delhi High Court's directions.

Therefore, if an FIR cannot be found online, it does not necessarily mean that the FIR was not registered.

The FIR may, for example:

Fall within a sensitive category;
Not yet have been uploaded;
Be subject to restrictions on public disclosure;
Belong to a category requiring use of a separate e-FIR portal; or
Require clarification from the concerned police station.

What Information Is Usually Required?
For an ordinary FIR search, keep the following information available:

District

Select the Delhi Police district in which the FIR was registered.

Police Station

Select the police station where the FIR was registered.

FIR Number

Enter the FIR number, if available.

Year

Select the year in which the FIR was registered.

FIR Date

Where the portal provides a date/date-range option, enter the relevant date.

Providing more accurate information generally makes the search easier.

What Information Can Be Seen in a Published FIR?

A published FIR may contain information relating to:

FIR number
Date of registration
Police station
District
Applicable legal provisions
Complainant/informant
Accused, where permitted
Date and place of occurrence
Brief description of the incident
Other information contained in the FIR

The information publicly displayed may be restricted or redacted depending on the nature of the case and applicable rules.

Delhi Police FIRs and Sensitive Cases

The public availability of FIRs is subject to restrictions.

Delhi Police's current RTI disclosure specifically states that FIRs categorised as sensitive by the concerned Additional DCP/DCP are excluded from the FIRs made available to the public online.

Consequently, an online search should not be treated as a complete database of every FIR registered in Delhi.

How to Check Complaint Status Online

Delhi Police also provides a separate Complaint Search facility.

Delhi Police Complaint Search / Status:
Delhi Police Complaint Search / Status

The CCTNS page provides options for checking the status of complaints lodged with Delhi Police.

This facility should be distinguished from View FIR.

Complaint Status

Used for checking the status of an online complaint.

View FIR

Used for searching FIRs that are available for public viewing.

An online complaint does not necessarily mean that an FIR has been registered.

Delhi Police Citizen Services

The current Delhi Police website provides a substantial range of online citizen services, including:

View FIR
Complaint Lodging
Lost Report
Motor Vehicle Theft e-FIR
Property Theft e-FIR
Missing Person/Children Registration
Missing Person Search
Missing/Stolen Mobile Phones
View Complaint Status
Stolen Vehicles Search
Police Clearance Certificate
Character Verification Report
Senior Citizen Registration
Domestic Help/Tenant Registration
Economic Offences Wing services
Cyber-related services

Delhi Police Emergency and Important Help lines

The current Delhi Police website displays the following important numbers:

Delhi Police identifies 112 as the 24X7 toll-free Emergency Response Support System.

For an emergency or an offence requiring immediate police intervention, contact the police rather than relying solely on an online FIR search or complaint portal.

What If the FIR Is Not Found?
If you cannot find an FIR through the online portal:

1. Check the information entered

Verify:

District
Police station
FIR number
Year
FIR date

2. Check the correct category

If it concerns:

Property theft -> use Property Theft e-FIR
Motor vehicle theft -> use M.V. Theft e-FIR
Other FIR -> use the ordinary View FIR facility

3. Try again later

An FIR may not yet have been uploaded to the public portal.

4. Contact the concerned police station

If you know the police station where the FIR was registered, contact it directly for clarification.

5. Consider whether the FIR is sensitive

Delhi Police states that sensitive FIRs are excluded from public online access.
