## Current document rules that matter most

- Documents must be valid on the application date and must match the permitted PoI, PoA, PoR or PDB column in UIDAI’s current list.

- A valid Indian passport is the strongest single-document example for many adult/NRI routes. Other common official examples include voter photo ID, driving licence, ration/e-ration card, birth certificate and specified government-issued photo documents—but each is accepted only for the columns marked in the official table.

- Address proofs such as utility bills and bank/post-office records have format and recency conditions. Read the note beside the exact document before relying on it.

- For a child born on or after 1 October 2023 , a birth certificate is mandatory as the proof-of-date-of-birth/relationship document under the applicable child route.

- Do not rely on legacy document lists copied by third-party sites. Several items in older compilations are absent from the current replacement schedule.
