Documents Required for Company Registration in India
By FirstMan Corporate Services Team · Published 5 June 2026
Registering a company or LLP in India needs identity and address proof for each director or partner, a passport-size photo, a Digital Signature Certificate, and proof of the registered office address.
For every director or partner
- PAN card (mandatory for Indian nationals)
- Aadhaar card, passport, voter ID, or driving licence as identity proof
- A recent utility bill or bank statement as address proof (not older than 2 months)
- A passport-size photograph
- Passport, if any director is a foreign national
For the registered office
- A recent utility bill or property tax receipt for the office address
- A No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from the property owner, if the office isn't owned by the company
- A rent agreement, if the premises are rented
Digital requirements
Every proposed director needs a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to sign incorporation forms electronically, and a Director Identification Number (DIN), which is typically applied for as part of the same incorporation filing rather than separately.
A note on accuracy
Mismatches between your PAN, Aadhaar, and address proof are the single most common cause of delay in incorporation filings — it's worth double-checking that names and addresses match exactly across documents before you submit.
