Can I Register a Power of Attorney (POA) in Karnataka If My ID Shows an Address from Another State?

Yes, it is absolutely possible to register a Power of Attorney (POA) in Karnataka, even if your identification documents—such as Aadhaar or Passport—reflect an address from a different state.

We recently completed a POA registration in Bangalore for a client whose identification documents carried a Kolkata address. This included both the Aadhaar and the Passport.

Since the property located in Doddaballapur, we opted to register the POA at the Doddaballapur Sub-Registrar Office in Bangalore Rural. However, it is important to note that POA registration is not restricted to the jurisdiction of the property. In Karnataka, you may register a POA at any sub-registrar office of your choice.

In our particular case, both the principal (the person granting the POA) and the attorney (the person receiving the POA) had identification documents with a Kolkata address. The POA was successfully registered in Bangalore without any issues.

For clarity, we have included a registered POA document below where the out-of-state address is clearly indicated.

Note: The registration fee and procedure remain the same regardless of the address mentioned in the identification proof.
