Check FIR Status Online - Gandhinagar Police, Gujarat
Check FIR status and get FIR copy online in Gandhinagar
You can check the status of a police complaint or FIR registered in Gandhinagar, Gujarat through the online citizen services provided by the Gujarat Police/Home Department.
The Government of Gujarat's e-governance portal confirms that the police citizen-services system provides facilities for tracking FIR status, lodging e-complaints, finding police stations and obtaining FIR copies and details.
The earlier Gandhinagar Police website contained a separate Complaint Status facility requiring a Unique ID and email address. That old webpage should no longer be treated as the primary current link. For the latest procedure, use the official Gujarat Police/Home Department online services.

- Open the citizen or online services section.

Important: FIR Status and FIR Copy Are Different
Checking the status of an FIR and obtaining a copy of an FIR are
related but different services.
FIR Status:
Provides information about the available status of the FIR/complaint
in the police system.
FIR Copy:
Provides access to the recorded FIR where the online system makes
the document available.
The availability of an FIR through a public online search does not determine whether an FIR legally exists. An FIR may have been registered even if it is temporarily unavailable through an online portal.
Current Law Governing FIRs
The criminal procedure relating to FIR registration is now governed
by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS). The BNSS
replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and came into force on
1 July 2024.
Section 173 BNSS - Information relating to cognizable offences
Section 173 BNSS deals with information relating to cognizable
offences and recognises information given by electronic
communication, subject to the requirements prescribed by the
section.
The provision also requires that a copy of the information as recorded be given forthwith and free of cost to the informant or victim.
Therefore, an online complaint or application should not automatically be described as an FIR. The legal status of the information depends upon the nature of the offence and the action taken under the applicable law.
What if FIR Status Is Not Showing Online?
If your FIR or complaint cannot be found online, check the following:
- Confirm that the FIR or complaint number is correct.
- Check the police station and district.
- Verify the FIR date or year.
- Check whether the complaint was actually converted into an FIR.
- Try the current Gujarat Police citizen-service portal again.
- Contact the concerned police station if the record remains unavailable.
An online portal may not contain every police record or may
temporarily be unavailable.
What if the Police Have Not Registered an FIR?
Where information relates to a cognizable offence, Section 173 BNSS governs the procedure for giving such information.
If a person believes that information disclosing a cognizable offence has not been properly recorded, the BNSS provides further statutory remedies. The appropriate remedy depends on the facts and circumstances of the particular case.
Keep copies of:
- The original complaint.
- Online acknowledgement.
- Complaint/reference number.
- Emails or SMS received from the police.
- Documents submitted.
- Any subsequent communication with the police.
For a serious matter, legal advice may be appropriate.
The Government of Gujarat continues to identify FIR-status tracking and FIR-copy services as part of its police citizen-service infrastructure.
