It is very difficult to

It is very difficult to obtain passport with this condition. My one friend is suffering from same problem. Finally he submitted his birth certificate (it is also one kind of proof of address), all the documents that he got recently and all the documents required for proof of residence of his parents listed in http://passport.gov.in/, then officer will accept this with special permission. I think it is better you contact with RPO of your local Passport office and take the suggestion. But it is very difficult. It will better if you mail him and tell him the problem, he will reply quickly, as my friend was done so!!! The mail address is given in http://passport.gov.in/, choose your local RPO and then click contact us...Then you will find the mail address of the Regional passport officer!!

No not at all!!! It is mandatory that you must submit birth certificate as you born after 26.1.1989 so you first apply for a birth certificate in your local B&D registration office where you born, and they will register you after completing the formalities prescribed by them. Go there and know the rules, then you will go for making a passport!!!
