List Of Documents Valid As Address Proof
As of date, Aadhaar Card is a valid address proof. Yet, below listed documents were valid just before couple of years.
- Electricity Bill (Latest Or Previous Months)
- Passport if updated with current address as you stay.
- Aadhaar Card, Almost all recent card applied has latest addresses on it. You should provide with latest if that is outdated.
- Other Utility Bills, Like Electric Bill.
- Driving License.
- Also get along with PAN Card or any other proof you have that may help.
The exact details will be known on 15th July 2014 and we will try to update this page with a sample form and exact details on documents required along with the process and other details if missed . But be ready on the date, else you will have to take an alternate method like Coupons, ATVM or Long Queues to get your regular ticket for a day till you get your pass confirmed. Mobile ticketing is another option for quick daily travel tickets.

Hi Deven, what documents are required to purchase a “local train AC pass” for foreign nationals? Can I provide my foreign passport and driver’s license? Obviously since I don’t live in Mumbai (though I grew up there), I don’t have any of the Indian documents you are mentioned in the article eg. electricity bill, aadhar card, etc.
Regards and Thanks

Hello Nikunj,
I believe that should work since AC local train passes are for 1 week or 2 and unlike regular seasonal passes for Non AC local trains.
