Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij on Wednesday launched Haryana Police’s HarSamay citizen portal which will enable people to obtain police verification certificates sitting at home.

"Now the people of the State don’t need to visit Superintendent of Police’s (SP) office or Police Station to obtain police verification certificates and these certificates can be obtained while sitting at home," he said at the launch function.

The Minister  said that to make citizen service delivery fast, citizen-friendly, transparent, and corruption free, Haryana police has now integrated digital signatures in the verification certificates issued to citizens. (i.e. Character Certificate, Tenant Verification Certificate, Police Clearance Certificate, etc.).

Haryana Director General of Police Manoj Yadava, who was present at the launch, said that, 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 available to the people. In future, other verification services like Employee Verification, Domestic Help Verification, Threat Verification etc. will also be integrated with digital signature.

He said that, people can log-in to the HarSamay citizen portal and download digitally signed verification certificates from anywhere as per their convenience.

Previously, they had to visit the SP office of their respective districts to collect the  signed certificates in person as with this change, they can avail delivery of digitally signed certificates directly from the HarSamayportal.

Apart from that, he said that, the police can, now, complete the entire verification process from their end and make the digitally signed certificate available in HarSamay Portal. Citizens can log-in and download certificates as per time and place of their convenience.
