How to Change SBI Address Online?

If you’ve shifted to a new house (whether within your city or to another city), it’s important to update your SBI address online. If you don’t, your cheque book, debit card, or statements may go to your old address. Just imagine your new debit card reaching your old flat and landing in someone else’s hands. Risky, right? So, here we will discuss how to change the SBI address online.

Why Do You Need to Update Your SBI Address?

RBI rules say banks like SBI must have your latest KYC (Know Your Customer) details, including your correct address. If you don’t update it, your cheque book, debit card, or bank letters may go to your old address. Someone else could get them risky! A correct address helps keep your bank record safe and protects you from fraud or misuse.

How to Change the Address in SBI?

There are different easy ways to update your address in SBI. You can do it online using SBI net banking, the YONO app, the SBI Card website, email, or by visiting the branch. Make sure your mobile number is linked to your account. You’ll need it to get OTPs for verification.

Through the SBI Card Website

You can update your address online using the SBI Card official website. This is a safe and easy method.

1. Log in to the SBI Card website with your username and password.
2. Go to the Address tab and click Update.
3. Click Verify Now to submit your KYC document using DigiLocker.
4. Confirm that your Aadhaar shows your current address.
5. Enter the OTP sent to your registered mobile number.

Done! Your request is submitted.

Special Case: If Your Aadhaar or KYC Has an Old Address

If your Aadhaar or other KYC doesn’t have your new address:

1. Log in to the SBI Card website.
2. Go to the Address tab > Update.
3. Click Verify Now and submit your KYC document via DigiLocker.
4. Type your current address manually.
5. Select “Click here in case the current address proof is not available”. This lets you submit a self-declaration.
6. Enter the OTP from your mobile.

Your request will be submitted for processing.

Through the Mobile App

You can also update your SBI address using the SBI Card mobile app. The steps are very similar to the website method.

1. Open the SBI Card mobile app and log in.
2. Go to the Profile section or Service Requests.
3. Select Update Address.
4. Upload a clear, scanned copy of your current or permanent address proof.
5. Click Submit.

The bank will verify your documents, and your address will be updated once approved.

Through Email

You can update your SBI address by sending an email.

1. Send the email from your registered email ID (the one linked to your SBI account).
2. Attach a self-attested copy of your valid KYC address proof (like Aadhaar, Voter ID, etc.).
3. Send it to [email protected].

The bank will check your documents and update your address after verification.

By Visiting the Branch

If online methods don’t work for you, you can visit your nearest SBI branch.

1. Fill out the address change request form (you’ll get it at the branch, or you can download it beforehand).
2. Carry a self-attested copy of your address proof (like Aadhaar, Voter ID, etc.).
3. Submit the form and documents to the bank officer.

The branch will process your request and update your address after verification.

Documents You Can Use to Update SBI Address

You can submit any one of these valid address proofs to update your SBI address:

• Voter ID card (with current address)
• Passport (with current address)
• Driving licence (if accepted as address proof in your state)
• Aadhaar card (if your address is updated)
• Letter from the National Population Register (showing name and address)
• NREGA job card (signed by a state government officer)
• Property tax receipt or municipal tax receipt
• Utility bill (telephone, electricity, water, or postpaid mobile bill, not older than 2 months)
• Letter of accommodation allotment (from employer, government, PSU, bank, or listed company)
• Pension or family pension order (issued by a government department or a PSU)

Note:

• The document must be valid and show your correct address.
• You must self-attest (sign) the copy before submission.

Important Points to Remember

• Your documents must be self-attested (signed on the copy before uploading or submitting).
• Driving licence is not valid as address proof if your state rules say so. Check before using it.
• Your document should be valid and current on the date you submit it.
• Always mention your registered mobile number and email ID on the KYC document or in the email body (if sending by email).

Conclusion

In conclusion, updating your SBI address online is simple if you follow the steps carefully. Whether you use net banking, YONO, or the SBI Card website, the process is designed to be safe and easy.
