Delhi Appoints Special Branch DCP as Registration Officer Under Immigration Act

The Delhi government has authorised a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) from the Special Branch to act as the Registration Officer under the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, within the National Capital Territory. This appointment, empowered by the Lieutenant Governor through a Gazette notification, aims to enhance the monitoring, registration, and regulation of foreign nationals in Delhi. The Special Branch already manages foreigners' registration, visa compliance, and security checks, and this move strengthens its legal authority under the new law. Foreign nationals on long-term visas must register within 14 days of arrival, with the officer overseeing certificate issuance and compliance enforcement.
