Update Your Nominee, Address or Contact Details From Abroad
Keeping your LIC policy details current matters even more when you live overseas. Here is how updates generally work.
- Update nominee, address or contact details
- Update bank account for payments/payouts
- Simple form plus supporting proof
Why Keeping Details Current Matters
A surprising number of servicing delays and even claim complications trace back to outdated information on file — an old address, a nominee who's no longer reachable, or a bank account that's since been closed. For NRIs, who may not be around to notice a missed letter or a bounced communication, staying on top of this is especially important. Updating your details is usually a straightforward process; the main thing is knowing which form applies and what proof is needed.

The General Process
Most updates involve submitting a request form specific to the change, along with supporting proof (such as ID proof for a nominee change, or address proof for an address update).
