Here is my problem - actually wife's when we got the car - it is in her name. My objective was to have the Regd. Address at my residence.
a. Her voters id is missing. (She has one, but has not voted or lived in her home for past 11 years, as at time of marriage - transferable job).
b. No ration card. Well to do parents did not require one.
c. No passport. Going out of India was not on her radar screen.
d. She is not a phone subscriber. Her mobile was her dad's name.
e. Pan card does not have address on it.
f. Driving license missing. If traced out, has the address of one of her former offices, since she took it through a driving school in some other district, and DLs are not proof of address for registering your vehicle.
Now I set out to get a proof of address (my residence) and here are the problems.
1. To add her into the ration card, marriage certificate is required.
2. Our marriage was not registered; coz. well, no time to do the formalities, and wife got a transfer on day 2 after marriage (Got lazy, that is what). To register the marriage now (special punishment for being late), her voters ID is required to prove residence. (other documents of course not being available).
3. We have no contacts with local netas in her locality to find out details of her in the local voters' list.
4. SSLC book, which is acceptable, carries her father's address.
5. A residence certificate from the village office is sufficient, but to get that, we need to show either the voter's id, ration card, or SSLC book or passport or lease agreement (huh? how can she rent my father's house?)
Finally got the car registered with her father's address as permanent address.
