Getting a new passport

My colleague who wanted a passport very urgently planned to go for tatkal, after looking at the documents required. He was not able to get the documents of address proof.

Because,

  1. He does not have a valid DL(drivers license)
  2. He does not have ration card.
  3. The voter ID card has the old address.
  4. No Phone bill, no gas bill, no electricity bill(all are not in his name)
  5. No bank account which is more than a year old.
  6. Affidavit is not a valid document (in case of address proof)

Since some of our seniors in the company told to contact the election commision to get the details to how to change the address in the voter ID card, the person whom we contacted in the Chief Electoral Office, Bangalore told us that they have stopped issuing the voter ID so we need to wait till the next elections!!!!!!!!!!

But this was not the result we expected from them, so he is in a dilema.

Can anyone please let me know how to get a valid address proof which can be got legally and quickly.

Postal department has address verification service, I believe. Try that. Actually, I also want to try that. Another option would be to make the Bangalore address temporary and use the address of the native place as permanent address.

I dont know about the postal department, need to tell him to check that. Regarding the permanent address he was born and brought up in bangalore, he is not having a permanent address as the native address.

 I went through the same problem wen i just turned 18, no DL, Voter ID , Bank Account nor Telephone Bill was in my name...

Some things i came across-

* DL cannot be used as address proof now

* You can submit ur telephone bill or gas bill if its in ur parent's name,

Parents name will be anyway filled in the passport application.

(Carry Photo ID of the person on whose name the connection is on )

* No condition that bank account should be more than a year.

* in the mean time do apply for the postal address verification card.

application form can be downloaded from 

http://taxguru.in/general-info/address-proof-card-issued-by-india-post-address-proof-card.html

u can explain the situation to the Viewing Officer -(VO) they may pass ur application
