    In case you do not have above common proofs, Certificate of Identity having photo issued by Gazetted Officer/Tehsildar certificate proforma as prescribed by UIDAI is also accepted as PoI. Certificate of Address having photo issued by MP or MLA /Gazetted Officer/Tehsildar on letterhead or by Village Panchayat head or its equivalent authority (for rural areas) is accepted as valid PoA. Even if someone in a family does not have individual valid documents, the the individual seeking to enrol can still enrol if his/her name exists in family entitlement document. In this case the Head of Family mentioned in entitlement document needs to be enrolled first with valid PoI & PoA document. The head of the Family can then introduce other members in the family while they are enrolling. UIDAI accepts many document types as Proof of Relationship. Please View the list of supporting documents. Document:- PDF Size:-1.6 MB.

To summarise, there are two approaches for enrolment:

Document Based

Submission of one valid Proof of Identity (PoI) document and one valid Proof of Address(PoA) document

Head Of Family (Hof)-based

Head of family (HoF) may introduce family members by means of documents, which establish the Proof of Relationship (PoR).
