To file an e-FIR, you will need basic personal details like your name, date of birth, contact information, and address, along with details of the incident, including the date, time, and location. If you have information about the accused or witnesses, including their names and addresses, that should be included as well. Any supporting documents, such as photos, videos, or other evidence, can also be uploaded.

1. A valid photo–ID (e.g. Aadhaar, passport, driver’s licence or voter ID) and proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, rent agreement, etc.).

2. Your contact details (mobile number, e‑mail) for OTP verification and follow‑up.

3. A clear description of the offence (date, time, place, parties involved) and any supporting evidence you have—photos, video clips, medical reports or documents.

4. In some states you may also need a digitally signed affidavit or a scanned copy of your signature.

Once submitted, you’ll get an acknowledgement with an FIR number; you may later be asked to visit the station to verify your identity and sign the physical copy.
