HI 

I just turned 18 this January (DOB 8th Jan 2007) , I applied for tatkal passport on 5th Feb and it got delivered 3rd day, (8th feb)

one day ago  the verification office (police came)

Police : Do you have a birth certificate? I said no and tried explaining that i have rest all the documents

Police : No, Birth certificate is mandatory, I am sending a negative report to the RPO (This happened on 6th feb)

I got a show cause notice from the RPO and it says police has submiited adverse report with remark “BIRTH CERTIFICATE REQUIRED”

according to the passport seva website, following documents can be used for DOB

1. Birth Certificate

2. PAN Card

3. LIC policy bonds

4. TC

5. 10th class Marksheet

I submitted PAN, TC , 10 certificate , but police did not even touch my documents and went away.

now, I got the show cause notice delivered to me on 5th March but it has a date mentioned as 22nd feb, looks like it was sent on 22nd feb and took 13 days to reach to my house.

I have  a flight on 26th March to Dubai and I will be back to India in June (i will travel to dubai, Dubai to Qatar and then Qatar to bahrain)

now these are my confusions

1. Can he still board the flight? will there be any problem at the immigration?

2. Will the immigration officer know aboue show cause notice when they scan the passport?

3. Should I clear the SCN before travel or should i just keep quite and travel (because i dont have a birth certificate, i applied and its taking 4months, I went to RPO and explained everything, he told me to come when they have RPO open to public without an appointment, he told me to bring the birth certificate and clear the SCN, I told him i have all the alternate documents but not the birth certificate, he said as the police has specifically asked for birth certificate, he will need only birth certificate) 

4. If i go back again to RPO and explained and give PAN, SSC Marksheet , TC, i am afraid that he will not be satisfied, i heard that if the explaination is not satisfatory the passport will be revoked.

5. Also Incase if I keep quite and come back in June and then clear the SCN issue as i will get my birth certificate by June, will that be fine?

6. Is there any specific period within which i have to clear the Show cause notice?  because the letter does not specify any deadline

7. is it possible that i  go to dubai (As i already have a passport) and then they revoke my passport? by the way i dont have any criminal record against me, i am just 18

8. do they send a 2nd notice of reminder /SCN ? or as  a next step will they directly cancel my passport?

I really need to travel, its urgent, Please advice

***Please dont ask to apply for birth certificate, i already did , its taking time, i have flight in 10days***

Thanks alot

Sometimes they are shy and don’t want to say upfront. They are like this 🙈👆 and you’ll have to say that “Kuch le dekr krdo sir urgent hai”. A/c to them every Indian should known the 500₹ rate.

He is but he has enough cases to handle. You should call and complain everywhere and mail everywhere. And also attach the tickets and all. You’ll have to give time for this. I don’t know where r u from. You’ll have to find out all the email ID and mail and urgent application and tell them that he asked for a bribe and when I didn’t give, he did that to me.
Learn to get your work done. You’ve paid for your ticket

Mail the higher officials, bring it out to twitter. Take out the phone numbers from the websites and start calling them.

Do not try to board the flight. The passports are digitally scanned by the immigration officers where any open incident immediately alerts the CISF. Book a visit to RPO and discuss with them the requirements.

No you can not travel untill the adverse remark is removed 10th class certificate is accepted as date of birth for passport only if someone is born before 1989 after the year 1989 birth certificate is mandatory

I was stuck in a similar situation. You should book an appointment at the RPO asap and re-initiate the police verification. You’ll have to mostly bribe the passport verification officer. It took me around a week from RPO appointment to get the whole thing sorted.

The same thing happened to me.
Finally had to bribe 500rs. It’s a sad state of our country.
The body that upholds the law is the most corrupt.

You will not be allowed to travel. Such police remarks are digitally available to the person checking at the counter. Find that police officer and get him to resend the report. Take care of him.

If you’re born after 1989, birth certificate is mandatory.

Technically your passport is already in blocked status – as soon as an SCN is issued, it gets flagged in immigration systems.

You cannot travel with an adverse remark on your passport.

Get it sorted asap

Ask the police officer to refer to [passport FAQ question 16](https://passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/online/faqApplicationForm) on the passport india government site
