Citizens can use Uttarakhand Police online services to access police-related citizen services, including a request for an FIR copy under the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS) project. Availability of a particular FIR online can depend on the case, police station, portal status and access rules.
Official links for Uttarakhand Police FIR services
For current access, start from the official Uttarakhand Police website or the Government of India service directory rather than relying on an old bookmarked portal page.

Latest law governing FIR registration: BNSS, 2023
Section 173 BNSS permits information relating to a cognizable offence to be given to the officer in charge of a police station irrespective of the area where the offence was committed. The provision also recognises giving such information by electronic communication, subject to the statutory requirements.
The statutory right to receive a copy of recorded information and the exact procedural route should be understood with reference to the applicable BNSS provisions, state rules, court directions and the facts of the case. An online portal is a service channel; it does not replace the legal remedies available where police action is required.

What if you cannot find the FIR online?
An FIR may not appear online because of access restrictions, data-entry timing, portal maintenance, sensitive case categories or other administrative reasons. Contact the concerned police station or use the current citizen service provided by Uttarakhand Police.
For an emergency, use India's emergency response number 112. For reporting financial cyber fraud, the national helpline is 1930; cybercrime complaints can also be made through the official National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.
FIR search and court case search are different
Searching an FIR through a police/CCTNS service is different from checking whether a court case has been instituted on the basis of an FIR. Court case status may be searched separately through the eCourts services where available.
Frequently asked questions
Can I download every Uttarakhand Police FIR online?
No. Online availability can depend on the category of case, portal access rules, data publication and other legal or administrative restrictions.
Do I need to register on the citizen portal?
The current Government of India service listing for Uttarakhand Police CCTNS FIR-copy services indicates that citizen registration/login may be required.
Which law now governs FIR procedure?
For matters governed by the new criminal procedure law, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 applies from 1 July 2024. Section 173 concerns information in cognizable cases.
Is an online complaint always the same as an FIR?
No. A complaint, service request, lost-article report and FIR can have different legal effects. Whether information must be registered as an FIR depends on the nature of the information and applicable law.
