There are a lot of things that should be always kept up to date in the bank account. And the address is one of these things. If you have changed your permanent address or shifted somewhere away from your home town. Then you should consider updating the same in the bank records as well. In this guide, I will tell you how you can update or change address in Bank of Baroda account.
If you have not updated the new address in the bank records. Then you will face difficulties in receiving the cheque book, and ATM cards, etc. from the bank. This is because the banks send such documents only to the registered address of the account holder. Changing the address is not a hard task. But you should have your address proof document with you.
And when I say address proof document here. I am talking about the one which has your new address on it. The bank allows you to change the address, but only if you can produce correct documents to the bank. You can use the Aadhaar Card, Voter ID Card, Driving License, and Passport, etc. as proof of your new address. The bank will verify the same and only then the detail will be updated in the bank records.
