Proof of residence documents for passport renewal

[sunselva]

Hi,
My passport expires in October and I am planning to get it renewed at the Indian consulate, Chicago. I do have a state identification card with my current address but I understand that two documents are needed to prove residence. I only have AT&T wireless bills and no other utility bills/receipts in my name. I don't have a lease deed either. Would I be able to take my wireless bill and also my bank statements and my paystubs that have my current address as the second document to prove residence?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also, my permanent address in India has changed. Would I need to just fill out the new address in the online application form or do i need to submit the miscellanous services form along with the fee to get the new address printed in my new passport.
I am also newly married and would like to get my spouse's name included in my new passport. Does it entail a whole new procedure as well?

I am planning to go the consulate in Chicago in person.

Thanks for your time and patience.

Sincerely
Sundar R Selvaraj

What about your Driving License ?

I think,Any change in details should be done under Misc.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I do have my driving license. But as I understand, they need two documents for proof of residence and I only have one, my driving license. I don't have any other except for cell phone receipts which they don't accept.
Thanks

Bank account? Credit card?

To add the spouse name, you need to take the original marriage certificate. They really don't bother too much about address proof. A DL or state ID will work fine. A piece of mail to yourself from the local post office may work fine as well.
