Set up Cformly in three steps
One-time setup on the phone and the computer. After this, every filing is: scan, send, fill.
-
1 · Install the app on your phone
Get Cformly from Google Play or the App Store and sign in with your email. It's invite-only internal testing for now — your property's invite link arrives by email. Add your property once — the address, FRRO office, and contact details pre-fill every form after that.
-
2 · Add the extension on the computer you file from
On the computer you file from, add the free Cformly extension. The Chrome Web Store listing is coming soon — until then use only the official Cformly zip: download it, open chrome://extensions, temporarily turn on Developer mode, click Load unpacked and pick the unzipped folder, then turn Developer mode off again (this temporary step is only needed until the store listing is live). It works only on the FRRO portal page you have open — the CAPTCHA and the guest photo always stay with you. The guest's details travel through the message you send yourself — never through our servers.
-
3 · File your first guest
Scan the passport and visa, review the fields, take the guest photo, then tap Push to Portal → Send to Computer. On the portal page, press the navy Cformly button (bottom-right corner), paste, and press Fill Form.
The first filing, move by move
- Phone: open the guest and tap Push to Portal.
- Phone: tap Send to Computer and send the fields (and the photo) to yourself — email or WhatsApp.
- Computer: open the FRRO portal, start a Form III, press the navy Cformly button in the bottom-right corner, and paste the fields into its box.
- Computer: attach the guest photo (drop it on the panel) and type the security code.
- Computer: press Save and Continue. The panel shows the Application ID big, and as a QR code.
- Phone: tap Scan from Computer and point the camera at the QR code. Done — the guest is marked filed.
When something doesn't work
- The clipboard button says it can't read anything?
- Paste the fields into the box instead — the navy Cformly button (bottom-right corner) on the portal page has one too.
- The photo won't attach?
- Send the photo from the phone as a FILE or document — not as a picture inside a chat — then drop it onto the panel's dashed box.
- The form filled but some fields are empty?
- The panel lists exactly which fields need attention. Fix those on the portal page before saving.
Everything above keeps guest data on your phone. The fields reach the computer only through the message you send yourself, and the extension fills only the portal page you have open.
