Life is getting hectic day by day and we hardly find time to do any extra but extremely important tasks. Like, if you have misplaced your important certificates or documents while traveling in bus/ metro or you lost your mobile while doing shopping in a busy market. In such a case, you need to submit FIR with your local police at the nearest police station. But your busy schedule may not allow you to visit there personally. And filing an online FIR is an easy solution to this problem. You can submit online FIR for reporting lost/ misplaced mobile, laptop, digital camera, driving license, passport, voter ID card, Aadhar card, school/ college/ university certificates, bank papers like FD, Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP), property papers, admit card, PAN card, etc.

Advanced technology and hassle-free websites of police departments also allow you to view the copy of your submitted FIR (either online or offline).
Please note that online FIR cannot be submitted in case of cognizable crime. (In simple terms, cognizable crimes are those which are serious in nature like murder, rape, kidnapping, robbery, etc.). You need to visit your nearest police station to submit FIR of any cognizable offense. Online FIR can be submitted only in case of non-cognizable offense.
