When selling old gold, having the right documents ensures a smooth and legal transaction. The specific papers may vary by buyer and country, but generally, you’ll need:

Proof of Identity: A valid government-issued photo ID is essential for verifying your identity. This includes documents like an Aadhaar card, PAN card, voter ID, or passport.

Proof of Address: Many buyers require a document that confirms your residential address, such as a utility bill, bank statement, or driver’s license.

Proof of Ownership: While not always mandatory, having the original purchase bill, invoice, or hallmark certificate can help prove ownership and ensure a more transparent valuation. For inherited gold, a will or legal document may be required.

Always choose a reputable buyer who maintains transparency and provides a detailed receipt for your records.
