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.

Step 4: Submit the request
Click Submit, Search, Track Status or the corresponding button shown on the current portal.

If the record is available online, the relevant FIR or complaint status should be displayed.

How to Check FIR Status if You Have the FIR Number

If an FIR has already been registered and you know its number, keep the following information ready:

FIR number
FIR year/date
Police station
District
Name of complainant, where required
Name of accused, where required

  2. Open the citizen or online services section.
  3. Select the FIR Copy / FIR Search service, if available.

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:

  1. Confirm that the FIR or complaint number is correct.
  2. Check the police station and district.
  3. Verify the FIR date or year.
  4. Check whether the complaint was actually converted into an FIR.
  5. Try the current Gujarat Police citizen-service portal again.
  6. 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.

The Government of Gujarat continues to identify FIR-status tracking and FIR-copy services as part of its police citizen-service infrastructure.
