An Address Proof Affidavit is a sworn declaration confirming a person's current residential address. It is required when official address documents (utility bills, Aadhaar) are not available or when the address in records differs from the current address. Accepted by banks, courts, schools, visa offices and government departments.
An address proof affidavit bridges the gap when your physical residence does not match the address on your existing identity documents. This is extremely common in India — with a large migrant population, frequent relocations for work, and delays in UIDAI address updates, millions of people need an address proof affidavit every year.
The Ministry of External Affairs lists a notarised address proof affidavit as a valid address document at Passport Seva Kendras. Accepted when utility bills or Aadhaar show an old address.
Under RBI KYC guidelines, banks accept a notarised address affidavit for address update when standard address documents are unavailable. Required for NRI accounts, new account opening, and address change requests.
UIDAI accepts a notarised address affidavit from a Notary or gazetted officer as a supporting document for address update at Aadhaar Enrolment Centres. The affidavit must state the full current address and be notarised.
Foreign embassies and consulates accept a notarised address affidavit as address proof for visa applications, especially when the applicant has recently moved and utility bills are not yet in their name.
Tenants without utility bills in their name frequently require an address affidavit. When combined with a landlord's NOC, it serves as valid address proof for almost all government and banking purposes.
Government welfare schemes, voter ID applications, ration card applications, and domicile certificate requests accept an address affidavit when official address proof is not available in the applicant's current name or address.
An address proof affidavit that will be accepted by banks, passport offices, and UIDAI must contain specific elements. A generic or incomplete affidavit risks rejection. ClearlyComply drafts affidavits that include all required elements:
Tenant-specific: If you are a tenant, the affidavit should also include a reference to the rent agreement and, ideally, be accompanied by the landlord's No Objection Certificate (NOC). ClearlyComply can draft both the tenant affidavit and the landlord NOC together.
