Rajasthan Police FIR Copy Online: How to View FIR and Check Status

A First Information Report (FIR) records information received by police about a cognizable offence. This guide explains how to search for a Rajasthan Police FIR, view an available copy, check case information and understand the relevant legal provisions.

Official starting point: Visit the Rajasthan Police website and its Citizen Services portal. Service names and required fields may change. An online complaint acknowledgement is not necessarily a registered FIR.

How to view or download a Rajasthan Police FIR online

  1. Open the official Rajasthan Police website.
  2. Find Citizen Services or the View FIR service. The Rajasthan Police citizen-services listing also identifies a "View FIR" option.
  3. Choose the relevant district and police station and provide the FIR number and registration year, if requested.
  4. Complete any required verification or login. Submit the search.
  5. If the FIR is available for public access, open the record and use the available view, print or download option.

Online access depends on the police system, the nature of the case and disclosure restrictions. Not every FIR is published for public download.

How to check the status of an FIR

The earlier Rajasthan Police website offered an FIR e-Status feature. On the current site, first check the relevant citizen-service and FIR-search options. If the status facility is not available, contact the police station or investigating officer with the FIR particulars.

The former form asked users to select a police district and police station, enter the FIR number and year, and provide the mobile number, applicant name and father or husband name where required. The user then selected Find Status. These are historical instructions, not a guarantee that the current portal has identical fields.

Details to keep ready before searching

  • Police district and station: the jurisdiction where the FIR was registered.
  • FIR number and year: as shown on the acknowledgement or FIR copy.
  • Contact or identity details: only when requested by the official portal.
  • Complaint reference: useful for tracking a complaint, but it may differ from the FIR number.

Legal provisions: FIR registration and free copy

Section 173(1), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS): Information about a cognizable offence may be given to the officer in charge of a police station irrespective of where the offence occurred. It may be given orally or by electronic communication. Oral information is reduced to writing and signed; information submitted electronically must be signed by the informant within three days to be taken on record.

Section 173(2), BNSS: A copy of information recorded under Section 173(1) must be given forthwith, free of cost, to the informant or victim. This statutory entitlement is different from the ability of the general public to download an FIR online.

Section 173(4), BNSS: Where the officer in charge refuses to record the information referred to in Section 173(1), the aggrieved person may send its substance in writing and by post to the Superintendent of Police concerned. Further recourse before the Magistrate is subject to the statutory procedure.

The BNSS generally replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for new criminal procedure from 1 July 2024, subject to applicable transitional and saving provisions. For older matters, the former Section 154 CrPC may remain relevant.

Read the Ministry of Home Affairs official criminal laws page or the official BNSS text (PDF).

If the FIR is not found online

  • Verify the district, police station, FIR number and year; an acknowledgement number may not be an FIR number.
  • Try the official portal again later if there is a technical problem or publication delay.
  • Some FIRs may be withheld from public online access for legal, privacy or investigation-related reasons.
  • If you are the informant or victim, request the free copy from the police station under Section 173(2) BNSS, where applicable.
  • For urgent police assistance, use the official emergency number 112. For cyber-financial fraud, the national helpline is 1930.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download every Rajasthan Police FIR online?

No. Publication and access depend on the category of case and applicable restrictions. Contact the police station if an eligible copy is unavailable online.

Is checking an FIR status the same as getting a copy?

No. Status information describes the progress or recorded position of a matter; an FIR copy contains the recorded first information.

Is an online complaint automatically an FIR?

No. Complaint registration and formal FIR registration are distinct. Check whether an FIR number has actually been issued.

Is the FIR copy free?

Section 173(2) BNSS provides a free copy to the informant or victim. Other requests may be governed by separate access rules.
