Address proof is usually one of the requirements to obtain a passport. However, how do you navigate this if you do not have a permanent address?
Fortunately, you can apply for a passport using a temporary address. You simply need to provide proof of your current address, and you’re all set.
Read on as we explain in detail how to apply for passport with temporary address.
How to Apply for Passport with a Temporary Address
To obtain a passport with a temporary address, you must provide valid proof of your present address (where you reside). If you moved to your current address less than a year ago, you must give valid proof of your previous residence. Furthermore, if your current or previous address is a rented residence, you must provide a copy of the official rent agreement. This should include the residential address, stay duration, and other relevant details.
To apply for your passport online, with a temporary address, you can present the following documents:

- Photocopies of your current bank account passbook (Scheduled Public Sector Banks, Private Sector Indian Banks, and Regional Rural Banks)
- Your spouse's copy of the passport (first and last page with family details including your name as the spouse to the passport holder). It applies if your current address, as the applicant, matches your spouse's passport address.

Conclusion
As long as you follow the correct procedures and present legitimate proof of your current residence, requesting a passport with a temporary address is simple. Remember, having the right documentation is key, so it’s essential that you submit your application after careful consideration. Additionally, just as with car insurance, ensuring you have all required documents for important processes can help avoid delays and complications.
