Dear client, It is general practice to use registered Leave and License agreement for Driving License, Bank account opening, passport application etc.
After registration the Owners has to submit the Tenant Information Form to the Police Station in whoes Jurisdictions your property comes. Then there will be no harm in letting the tenants using your Agreement as proof of residence.
We also give Doorsteps services to register leave and license online.

Respected sir,
Here i want to tell you that this the matter of trust. if you have trust on your tenant then and then only allow your tenant to use it for the purposes you mentioned above. here i further want to suggest you that make all inquiries about your tenant before you allow him. if you don't know his/her whereabouts then better not to allow him to use your Leave and license agreement. Thank You.
