How to Change Your Address in a Tata AIG Health Insurance Policy: A Step-by-Step Guide
Changing your address in your Tata AIG health insurance policy can be done through a few convenient methods. We'll walk you through each one, so you can choose the option that best suits you.
Step 1: Gather Your Essential Documents and Information - Don't Skip This!
Before you even begin the process, the very first and most important step is to prepare all the necessary documents and information. This will make the entire process smoother and prevent any delays.
Your Tata AIG Policy Number: This is your unique identifier and is essential for any policy-related changes. You'll find it on your policy document.
Proof of Your New Address: This is perhaps the most critical document. Ensure it's a valid and recent proof. Accepted documents typically include:
Aadhaar Card
Passport
Voter ID
Driving License
Utility bills (electricity, water, gas) - not more than 3 months old
Registered rent agreement (if applicable)
Bank statement/passbook (not more than 3 months old)
Proof of Identity (if required): While your address proof often doubles as ID, sometimes additional identity verification might be requested. Keep a copy of your PAN card, Aadhaar card, or passport handy.
A Self-Attested Copy of All Documents: Remember to self-attest (sign) all copies of the documents you submit.
A Request Letter (for offline methods): A formal letter stating your request for an address change, along with your policy details and new address, is often required for offline submissions.
Step 2: Choose Your Preferred Method for Address Change
Tata AIG offers multiple avenues for updating your address. Pick the one that is most convenient for you.
Option A: Online Method (Recommended for Speed and Convenience)
The online method is generally the quickest and most hassle-free way to change your address.
Sub-step 2.A.1: Via the Tata AIG Website's Self-Service Portal
Visit the Official Tata AIG Website: Go to the official Tata AIG General Insurance website (tataaig.com).
Log In to Your Account: Look for the "Login" or "Customer Login" section. You'll need your User ID and Password. If you haven't registered yet, you might need to do so first using your policy details.
Navigate to Policy Servicing/Alterations: Once logged in, search for sections like "Policy Servicing," "My Policies," "Alterations," or "Update Personal Details." Tata AIG's website specifically mentions "Address Alteration" under their "Policy Detail Correction" services for health insurance.
Select "Address Alteration": Click on the option to change or update your address.
Enter New Address Details: Carefully fill in your new address details in the provided fields. Double-check for any typos!
Upload Supporting Documents: You will be prompted to upload scanned copies of your address proof and any other required documents (as gathered in Step 1). Ensure the files are clear, legible, and in the specified format (usually PDF or JPEG).
Review and Submit: Before final submission, thoroughly review all the entered information and uploaded documents. Once satisfied, click on "Submit" or "Confirm."
Note Down Reference Number: After successful submission, you will usually receive a reference number or service request (SR) number. Make sure to note this down, as it will be crucial for tracking the status of your request.
Sub-step 2.A.2: Via Email
If you prefer using email, this is another convenient online option.
Draft an Email: From your registered email ID (the one linked to your policy), compose a new email.
Subject Line: Use a clear subject line like: "Request for Address Change - Policy No. [Your Policy Number] - [Your Name]".
Email Body: In the email, clearly state your request to change your address. Include:
Your Full Name
Your Tata AIG Health Insurance Policy Number
Your Existing Address
Your NEW Complete Address (including PIN code)
A brief statement confirming that you have attached the necessary address proof.
Attach Documents: Scan and attach the self-attested copy of your new address proof and any other required documents.
Send to Customer Support: Send the email to Tata AIG's customer support email address: customersupport@tataaig.com.
Keep a Record: Save a copy of the sent email for your records.
Option B: Offline Method (For those who prefer a physical interaction)
If you prefer a more traditional approach, the offline method is still available.
Sub-step 2.B.1: Visiting a Tata AIG Branch
Locate the Nearest Branch: Use the Tata AIG website's branch locator or contact their customer care to find the nearest Tata AIG General Insurance branch office.
Prepare Your Documents: Carry all the original and self-attested copies of the documents listed in Step 1, including a formal request letter.
Visit the Branch: Go to the branch during their working hours.
Speak to a Representative: Explain your requirement to change your address to a customer service executive.
Fill Out the Form: You may be asked to fill out a "Policy Amendment Request Form" or a "Personal Details Change Form." Fill it out accurately.
Submit Documents: Hand over your filled form and the self-attested copies of your documents. The representative may ask to verify them against your originals.
Get an Acknowledgment: Insist on receiving an acknowledgment receipt for your submission. This will have a reference number you can use for tracking.
Sub-step 2.B.2: Via Post/Courier
While less common now, you can also send your request via mail.
Prepare Your Documents and Letter: As with the branch visit, you'll need a formal request letter and self-attested copies of your address proof. Do NOT send original documents via post.
Address the Envelope: Clearly address the envelope to:
Tata AIG General Insurance Company Limited,
Customer Service Department (Health Insurance)
[Relevant Regional/Corporate Office Address - It's best to confirm the exact address by calling customer care or checking the official website for policy servicing requests. A general corporate office address might be: Peninsula Business Park, Tower A, 15th Floor, G. K. Marg, Lower Parel, Mumbai – 400 013, Maharashtra, India.]
Send via Registered Post/Courier: Send your documents via a reliable registered post or courier service that provides a tracking number. This is important for your peace of mind and to confirm delivery.
Keep Tracking Information: Retain the tracking number for your shipment.
Step 3: Confirmation and Follow-Up
Once you've submitted your request, the process isn't entirely over.
Confirmation: Tata AIG typically sends a confirmation via SMS or email once your request has been processed and your address updated. This usually takes a few business days.
Check Policy Document: After receiving the confirmation, it's a good practice to download your updated policy document from the Tata AIG website (if available) or request a physical copy to ensure the address change has been reflected correctly.
Follow-Up if Needed: If you don't receive any confirmation within the stipulated time frame (usually 5-7 business days for online, slightly longer for offline), use your reference/service request number to follow up with Tata AIG customer care.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - How to Change Address in Tata AIG Health Insurance Policy
Here are 10 common questions related to changing your address in a Tata AIG health insurance policy, with quick answers:
How to get my policy number if I don't have the physical document? You can usually find your policy number on your welcome kit, premium receipts, or by contacting Tata AIG customer care with your registered mobile number/email ID and date of birth.
How to update my address online without a login? While a login is the most direct way, you might be able to raise a service request on the Tata AIG website without logging in by providing your policy number and other identifying details. Alternatively, use the email or WhatsApp options.
How to know what documents are accepted as address proof? Generally, Aadhaar Card, Passport, Voter ID, Driving License, utility bills (electricity, water, gas - not older than 3 months), and registered rent agreements are accepted. Always check the official Tata AIG website or contact customer care for the most current list.
How to self-attest a document for address change? To self-attest, simply write "Self-Attested" on the copy of the document and sign below it.
How to track my address change request status? You can track your request using the reference/service request number provided to you after submission, either through the online portal, by calling customer care, or sometimes via SMS updates.
How to change the address if my health insurance policy is purchased through a third-party aggregator like Policybazaar? Even if purchased through an aggregator, the address change must be processed with Tata AIG directly. You can follow the steps mentioned above. The aggregator might offer some assistance, but the final update is done by the insurer.
How to ensure my new address is correctly updated? After receiving confirmation from Tata AIG, download a fresh copy of your policy document from their website to verify that the new address is reflected accurately.
How to handle a situation if my address proof is not in my name (e.g., living with parents)? In such cases, you might need to provide an affidavit or a letter from the head of the household along with their address proof and your identity proof. It's best to confirm this specific requirement with Tata AIG customer care.
How to change my contact number along with my address? Most policy amendment forms or online portals will allow you to update both your address and contact number simultaneously. If not, you can make separate requests or mention both changes in your email/letter.
How to get a new physical policy document with the updated address? Once your address is updated, you can usually download an e-policy from the Tata AIG website. If you require a physical copy, you can request one from Tata AIG customer service. They may courier it to your new address.
