Chandigarh, February 12

Now citizens don’t need to visit the SP’s office or police station to obtain police verification certificates in Haryana. These can now be obtained while sitting at home through Haryana Police’s HarSamay citizen portal.

With an aim to make citizen service delivery fast, citizen-friendly, transparent and corruption-free, the Haryana Police has now integrated digital signatures in the verification certificates issued to citizens such as character certificate, tenant verification certificate and police clearance. This was formally launched today by Home Minister Anil Vij in the presence of Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Vijai Vardhan and DGP Manoj Yadava at the Haryana Civil Secretariat.

As a first step, the functionality of downloading digitally signed character certificate, tenant certificate and police clearance certificate from Haryana Police’s HarSamay citizen portal is being made live and available to citizens. In future, other verification services such as employee verification, domestic help verification and threat verification will also be integrated with digital signature.

Citizens can log into HarSamay citizen portal and download digitally signed verification certificates from anywhere as per their convenience.

Previously, with the launch of citizen portal in 2015, citizens were empowered to raise service requests directly from HarSamay portal. However, high pendency of requests was a major issue in most of the services.
