Police clearance certificate

[AnotherGC 55]

Hi,

 I am trying to understand the police clearance certificate as requested by NVC. I was bron in India and lived till at the age of 24. Curently I am Swedish citizen (from last 5 years) and gave up my India passport. I have the police clearance certificate from Sweden, however since I lived in India , do I need to submit another certificate from India ?  I looked at the webiste 

 travel-.state. gov and foudn that

pecial Seal(s) / Color / Format: All police clearance certificates from regional passport offices have a similar format.  The header bears the symbol of India’s Central government (three lions), and contains the contact information of the regional office, issuance date, file number, and applicant photograph.  It is signed and stamped by the Ministry of External Affairs.  Police clearance certificates issued by other authorities vary in format.

Issuing Authority Personnel Title: There is no issuing authority personnel title

Registration Criteria: Varies by authority

Procedure for Obtaining:  Varies by authority

Certified Copies Available: Applicants obtain original police clearance certificates from police authorities.

Alternate Documents: There are no alternate documents

Exceptions: None

Comments: Police certificates are only available for Indian nationals and non-Indian nationals currently living in India. Indian police certificates are not available for foreign (non-Indian) nationals applying outside India.

 

From the comments, it seems that I don't need any police clearance if I don't hold Indian passport. Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

Thanks for your help in this regard.

The CEAC system might automatically add the requirement for Indian police certificate based on the address history in your DS-260.  If that happens, just upload a statement that "Indian police certificates are not available for foreign (non-Indian) nationals applying outside India", as per the DOS Reciprocity Schedule.
