Important Security Warning

​The Nepal Police has issued a strict notice against fraud:

​"Application for the Online Police Clearance Report is FREE."

  • ​Do not pay anyone: If any person or agency asks for money to "expedite" your report, report them immediately.
  • ​Contact for Help: If you face issues, call 100 or contact the Character Verification Section at +977-01-4412783 or 9851285920.
  • ​Email Support: Send your queries to opcr@nepalpolice.gov.np.

Pro-Tip: Consular Attestation

​If you need this report for a foreign embassy, you may also need to get it attested by the Department of Consular Services. This can also be initiated online via the Consular Services portal once you have your police report.
