Passport ECNR - Residense Proof?

Question

Hi,

I need to get my wife's passport ECNR stamped. Her passport has been issued from Bhopal. Since I am in Hyderabad so we want to get ECNR done here itself. Can we show Gas Connection papers as residense proof for the same?

Answer 1

Yes indeed! I had given our gas connection papers (subscription voucher) in respect of my wife along with our mariage certificate (because the LPG connection is in my name) and it was accepted by the RPO and Passport was stamped ECNR wihtout any problems. Please note that the place of issue and place of application for ECNR stamping was the same in our case.

I have extracted below the acceptable proof of address for Bangalore Passport office ( I guess it is the same everywhere)

Proof of Address (attach one of the following documents)

1.     Applicant’s ration card

2.     Letter from a reputed company on their letter head regarding stay proof;

3.     Statement of running bank account along with a letter from the Bank

4.     Election ID card

5.     Letter from the concerned Administrative Department (in the case of Govt. Employees)  regarding the applicant’s present address as per departmental records

6.     Appointment letter of reputed companies

7.     Income tax assessment order

8.     Spouse’s passport copy

9.     Parents’ passport copy in case of minor

10.   Domicile certificate issued by Tahsildar

11.   Water bill /telephone (landline) bill /electricity bill / Gas connection confirmation

12.   Property Tax in the name of the applicant

13.   Lease agreement with additional proof such as cellphone bill.
