Telangana Police’s VeriFast' app tops in Passport Verification Efficiency

Hyderabad, June 23 (UNI) The Telangana State Police has emerged as the top performer among all state police forces in India in the domain of passport verification, thanks to Telangana’s 'VeriFast application'.
Telangana Director General of Intelligence B Shivadhar Reddy will be receiving the Certificate of Excellence from the Minister of External Affairs at New Delhi on Tuesday, June 24, which is observed every year as Passport Seva Divas, a release said here on Monday.
This innovative digital solution has dramatically streamlined the passport verification process, ensuring speed, accuracy, transparency, and citizen-centric service delivery.
As per the latest national statistics, Telangana Police has once again achieved the fastest average turnaround time (TAT) in passport verification, consistently completing verifications well within the mandated time, and often in less than three working days—a benchmark that sets Telangana apart from most other states.
Key Success Metrics includes daily average of 2,000+ passport verifications processed across the state with real-time monitoring, with annual volumes exceeding eight lakhs; detection and prevention of fraudulent passport applications through integration with Intelligence systems and data analytics besides significant cost savings for Telangana Police as VeriFast operates on existing devices without requiring expensive hardware replacement.
The VeriFast application is a testament to Telangana Police’s commitment to harnessing technology for efficient governance and citizen service.

It reflects the state’s larger digital transformation agenda and showcases how police modernization can directly improve service delivery and national security outcomes.
Telangana Police is proud to set the gold standard in passport verification and looks forward to continuous innovation in this space, a release said.
