NOTE: Did not receive NORI  from Department of state, Andhra Pradesh  till now  even after  my father-in- law bribed 3,500 INR out of 5,000 INR as asked by concerned officer.  Documents were submitted  in Department of State, Andhra Pradesh on December 7^th 2015. After regular followup we came to know that  documents were forwarded to next level in successive week .  Later received police verification at Vijayawada  on January 26, 2015. After police enquiry documents were sent to Hyderabad, Department of state in  one week (we came to know by followup). Afterwards there is no action till now and there is no one to respond for our quires at Department of state, AP at Hyderabad. Till now I did not receive the NORI.. Will update the status once I receive it.  I think the team of Department of State, AP at Hyderabad  related to NORI acts in similar Fashion, that why the delay.  Probably they are expecting me to pay more to mail the NOR

Hi everyone

 

I am a new member to this forum. I was wondering if anyone could help me with the correct address for procuring NORI certificate from Andhra Pradesh State government. I applied for NORI certificates four months back and got from the MHRD (New Delhi) and Passport Office (Hyderabad). However, I got no reply from the AP state government. The address I sent was ---

 

To

The Deputy Secretary

Home Department

(Passports & Prisons wing)

Government of Andhra Pradesh

A.P. Secretariat,

Hyderabad- 500 022

India

 

I have a feeling that this address is probably wrong. So I intend to resend my documents again and was looking for the right address online.

Also if anybody can give me the contact number of the section officer handling AP state NORI, I would be highly appreciate it.

 

Thanks
