A trip to police station

I went to the local police station to see if my Police Clearance Certificate application has reached there. It had reached there and so I was ready for the next step i.e. the police verification.
Certain documents are required by the police officer. Not knowing about the same, I had not taken them. The following is a list

1. 3 passport size photographs, preferably the ones attached on the Police Clearance Certificate application
2. *Proof of residence-Rental agreement is usually not accepted. Gas connection/phone bill specifying the address is required. One latest and one earliest bill is required.
3. Xerox of passport
   

*The date on this proof is the date which will be taken as your start date of stay in Bangalore for the PCC. Hence check if you can obtain all the proofs starting from your date of arrival here. Rest depends on the police officer working on your application.

The police officer will dictate you a letter addressed to the in-charge of the police station. Once done, don't be surprised if some loosening of purse-strings is required!

Approximate time taken: 15 minutes

A wonderful experience as the police officer was very polite and even got a chair for me ;)
