Address Proof Affidavit
Declare your current residential address through a professionally drafted and notarized affidavit.
What is Address Proof Affidavit?
An address proof affidavit is a self-declared sworn statement that confirms a person's current residential address. When standard address proof documents like utility bills, bank statements, or rental agreements are unavailable or do not reflect the current address, this affidavit serves as an alternative proof of residence. It is commonly accepted by government offices, banks, passport authorities, and educational institutions as supporting documentation for address verification.

- For passport applications requiring current address verification

Address Proof Affidavit in Bangalore
In Bangalore, address proof affidavits are commonly required when applying at the Regional Passport Office (RPO Bangalore) on Lalbagh Road, or at BBMP offices for property-related applications. Banks across Bangalore — including SBI, Canara Bank, and private banks — accept notarized address affidavits for account opening when utility bills are unavailable.
Karnataka requires ₹20 non-judicial stamp paper for general affidavits. Notary services are readily available near all major court complexes — City Civil Court (Mayo Hall), sessions courts, and sub-registrar offices in Jayanagar, Koramangala, HSR Layout, Whitefield, and Electronic City.
For Bangalore residents in PG accommodations or shared flats, a landlord consent letter along with the address proof affidavit strengthens your documentation. Many Bangalore landlords are willing to provide this — Sevantay professionals can draft both documents together.
Pro Tips from Our Experts
- Include your full address with pin code exactly as you want it to appear on official records — inconsistencies between documents cause delays.
- If you are in a rented flat, get your landlord to sign a separate consent letter confirming your residence — this strengthens the affidavit significantly.
- For passport applications at RPO Bangalore, carry two notarized copies — one for submission and one for your records.
- If you have recently moved within Bangalore, update your Aadhaar address first using the affidavit, then use the updated Aadhaar for all other purposes.
