Is my permanent address proofs valid for passport application?
I am an Indian citizen who wants to apply for a passport. In India, an "address proof" is a document which proves where you live and is required for passport applications, among other things.
For the last three years I have been working in a city while living in a rented home. This is my present address. But there is also a home owned by my family, which I could also potentially use. I have submitted both the rented home and the family home in the application.
My father works in the government, and lives in a home provided by the government. I don't want to use that address proof, as he will retire in a few months and thus relocate from that home.
For my present address (the rented home) I believe I have these types of proofs:
- Aadhar card
- Bank passbook with photo
- Voter ID
But for my family home (the home owned by my family) all the documents are in the names of family members. The only thing in my own name is #4, which I'm not sure about.
I have the following for the family home:
- Water bill (in the name of my paternal grandfather.)
- Electricity bill (in the name of my paternal grandfather.)
- Gas Connection (in the name of paternal uncle.)
- A piece of land attached to my house registered in my name. (Not sure if this is applicable for address proof.)
- Telephone bill (in the name of paternal uncle.)
Which of these documents (if any) will be useful for a passport application?
Best Answer
The easiest thing here is to simply ask the people in charge of issuing passports at the Collectors Office. Tell them about whatever documents you have, and ask them if any of them will do. Your situation would likely be a common one, and the official has probably dealt with it before. Just ask the officials about your documents.
In the case that none of your documents are applicable, your last resort would be to get a phone connection or something in your own name. You may be able to find one without a monthly fee where you just pay for usage.
