Your OPC checklist

Documents Required for OPC Registration: The Complete Checklist (2026)

Exactly what you need to register a One Person Company in India — the director’s papers, the nominee’s consent, and the one address proof that trips most people up. Get these right and a 7-day filing is realistic.

The short answer

To register an OPC you need the director’s KYC — PAN, Aadhaar, a passport photo, and contact details — plus the same KYC and a signed consent from your nominee, and one recent utility bill as proof of the registered office. The MCA forms themselves are prepared and filed for you.

The full document checklist

From the director

  • PAN card
  • Aadhaar card
  • Mobile number & email
  • Passport-size photo
  • Latest bank statement — not needed if the director already has a DIN

Registered office address proof

One utility bill for the proposed office address — it can be in anyone’s name.

Accepted gas cylinder receipt, telecom bill (MTNL / BSNL / Jio / Airtel / Vi), electricity bill, piped-gas bill, or water bill.

Not accepted private-company bills other than telecom.

It must not be older than 50 days from the date the SPICe+ forms are filed.

What your nominee provides

An OPC has one member — but the law requires you to name a nominee who steps in if anything happens to you. The nominee isn’t a co-owner and has no say in the company while you’re running it; they only need to supply:

  • PAN card
  • Aadhaar card
  • Passport-size photo
  • Signed consent (Form INC-3) — prepared for you; the nominee just signs it

Before you file

Most delays come from documents, not the MCA.

A blurry scan, a utility bill that’s a few days too old, or a name that doesn’t match across PAN and Aadhaar — that’s what stalls an OPC filing, not the government. Get the basics clean and a 7-day turnaround is realistic.

  • Clear, fully legible scans of every document
  • A utility bill no older than 50 days at filing
  • Name spelled identically across PAN and Aadhaar

Frequently asked questions

Whose name should the utility bill be in?

It can be in anyone’s name — yours, a family member’s, or the owner’s. What matters is that it’s an accepted type (telecom, electricity, gas or water) and not older than 50 days when the forms are filed.

Can I use a residential address as the registered office?

Yes. A home address is fine for an OPC’s registered office, as long as you can provide a valid, recent utility bill for it.

What documents does the nominee provide?

Just KYC — PAN, Aadhaar and a passport photo — plus a signed Form INC-3 consent, which we prepare for you.

Do I need a bank statement?

Only if the director does not already have a DIN. If a DIN is in place, the bank statement is not required.
