When applying for a passport, you are required to submit valid address proof. Commonly accepted documents include government-issued IDs like Aadhaar and Voter ID cards, which display your current address. Recent utility bills (electricity, water, or gas), bank statements, and ration cards can also serve as proof. Additionally, a notarized rental agreement with the landlord’s ID or a letter from an educational institution confirming your address is acceptable. Other government-issued documents, such as a driving license, may be used if they include your address. It’s important that the proof is clear, up-to-date, and matches the details on your application.
