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.

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.
