Case 1: Born before July 1, 1987

If you were born before July 1, 1987, there is good news for you. You only need to submit one document. This can be any one of the 11 documents listed above. Alternatively, if your name was included in the 2002 West Bengal electoral roll, a copy of that page will suffice. In that case, no other document will be necessary. Keeping this in mind will make your task much easier.

For yourself: You must submit any one of the 11 documents listed above. If you were 18 years old by 2002 and your name was on that year’s electoral roll, a copy of that list can also be submitted. However, if you were not of voting age in 2002, you must provide one of the 11 specified documents.

For your father or mother: You must submit one document for either your father or your mother. This can be one of the 11 specified documents, or if their name was on the 2002 electoral roll, a copy of that list can also be provided.
