Police Verification Form Format

General reference format · Last reviewed September 2026

This is a general reference format, not an official state police form. Each state police department has its own exact form, and many now run this through an online citizen portal. Always check your specific state/department's official process before relying on this - use their prescribed form if one exists.

When You Need This

Character and antecedent verification is commonly required for government job joining, passport applications, and sometimes tenant or domestic-help verification. You (the applicant) fill this form with your details and submit it to your local police station - or increasingly, through your state's online citizen services portal - and the police carry out the actual verification against their records.

Answer a few quick questions and we'll generate the properly worded application below - typed straight into the document, no leftover "[full name]"-style instructions when you print.

How to Use This Format

  • Check your state police website first - many states now process this through an online citizen portal instead of a physical form.
  • Attach self-attested copies of your ID proof, address proof, and passport-size photo, as most stations/portals require.
  • Submit at the police station covering your current residential address, unless your state's online process differs.
