27 February 2026 I am a newly qualified Chartered Accountant. While applying for membership, I am required to upload address proof.

I have recently shifted to a new residence, but all my government-issued IDs reflect my previous address. At present, I do not have any document that shows my current address. Updating my address in government IDs will take some time; however, I would like to apply for membership at the earliest.

please advise on how I can resolve this issue?

27 February 2026 To apply for your ICAI membership immediately despite having outdated IDs, your best bets are using a registered rent agreement, a utility/broadband bill, or updating your bank records first to generate a statement for the new address. Alternatively, you can apply using your old address as per your IDs and update it on the SSP portal later once your government records are synchronized.

27 February 2026 This is not a rented property, and all the utility bills are in my father’s name. I would like to update my address so that the membership kit can be delivered to my new residence.
Since the utility bills are under my father’s name, may I update the new address using his name as proof?
