Letter to Police for Noc Passport

When and how to use this letter

Confirm first whether you actually need a police NOC. Ordinary adult passport applicants usually do not, but government employees, minors, and people with prior criminal records often do. Ask the passport office about your specific category so you do not waste a station visit.

Carry your CNIC, the passport application receipt or token, and any employment letter if you are applying as a government servant. The station checks your criminal record history, so make sure your details match your CNIC exactly; mismatched spellings cause the most common delays.

Be honest about your record. If an FIR was ever registered against you, even one that was later proven false, disclose it and carry the closure or acquittal order. Officers respect straightforwardness, and hidden records discovered during verification stall the process far longer.

A non-obvious tip: get any old or false cases formally closed before you apply for the NOC. A pending FIR against your name, even one filed years ago and long forgotten, will show up in the record check and freeze your clearance until it is resolved through the courts.

Ask for a timeline when you submit, and collect the NOC in person with your original CNIC. Check that your name, CNIC number, and the stated purpose are printed correctly before you leave the station. Then submit your passport application promptly, because NOCs usually expire within a few months.
