In his message to the citizens on social media, IG Punjab Dr. Usman Anwar said that the system of issuance of police character certificate, which is required for citizens to apply for admission, scholarship, visa, job and immigration abroad has been upgraded with new features and has also been approved by the Police Executive Board. IG Punjab said that under these new features, the detailed record of the citizens declared innocent by the police investigation and courts will be registered in the character certificate, in which their details will be present with accuracy. Similarly, the character certificate of the citizens who have been implicated in false cases will be issued with accuracy of record so that these innocent citizens do not have to face problems for employment, obtaining visa, admission to educational institutions or immigration just because of character certificate.

Dr. Usman Anwar said that the police character certificate of all the citizens of the province who obey laws is clear, but if a citizen is facing difficulties in obtaining the character certificate despite being innocent, he should immediately contact the concerned authorized officer. IG Punjab said that according to the new features, the detailed record of innocent citizens involved in false FIRs will be registered in character certificate so that they do not face any problem and can easily apply not only for admission for education abroad, scholarships, visa, job and immigration, but also be able to proceed with full attention in the fulfillment of their goals.
