Affidavit for address proof

You live with parents, in a rented room without an agreement, or in a hostel, and the bank, school, gas agency or Aadhaar centre wants an address proof in your own name. A sworn address affidavit, often together with the owner's bill and ID, bridges the gap.

Sample

I, Sneha Ravi, aged 26 years, daughter of Ravi Kumar, do hereby solemnly affirm and declare as under:

1. I am presently residing at TC 24/1150, Pattom, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala 695004, since 1 July 2024.

2. The said premises belong to my father, Mr. Ravi Kumar, and the electricity connection (consumer no. 1160xxxxxxx) stands in his name. I do not have any utility bill or agreement in my own name.

3. The above is my present and permanent address, and I undertake to inform the concerned authority if it changes.

4. This affidavit is made for the purpose of opening a savings account with Federal Bank, Pattom branch.

Verification: Verified at Thiruvananthapuram on 26 October 2026 that the contents are true and correct.

Signed
Sneha Ravi, Deponent · attested by Notary Public

Names, numbers and dates above are examples. Replace them with yours.

What it must include

  • Full address with house number, ward/area and PIN
  • Since when you live there
  • Whose name the house or bill is in and why yours is not
  • The undertaking to inform of any change
  • The specific purpose and office
  • Verification and notary attestation; attach the owner's bill and your ID

Common mistakes

  • Giving a different address from the one on your Aadhaar without explaining it.
  • No owner's document attached when the house is not yours.
  • Leaving the purpose blank — a purposeless affidavit gets questioned.

Stamp paper, notary and signing

Rs. 10–100 non-judicial stamp paper by state; notarised. Banks under KYC rules may accept a simpler self-declaration without stamp paper — ask first.

Common questions

Does Aadhaar accept this?

UIDAI accepts a Certificate of Address signed by a gazetted officer, MP/MLA, or the head of the household in its own format, not a plain affidavit. Use the UIDAI form for Aadhaar.

Will a bank accept it?

Most banks accept a self-declaration for current address if your Aadhaar/passport shows a different permanent address. Confirm with the branch.

Can a landlord sign instead?

A landlord's NOC plus their bill is often stronger than your own affidavit; the NOC generator makes that too.
