Both Birth Certificate and Caste Certificate is not a valid address proof. You cannot get Passport using only these documents.
Birth Certificate can be used as proof of age.
List of acceptable documents as proof of address is provided below.

| 3 | Electricity bill |
| 4 | Income Tax Assessment Order |

| 8 | Spouse's passport copy (First and last page including family details mentioning applicant's name as spouse of the passport holder), (provided the applicant's present address matches the address mentioned in the spouse's passport) |
| 9 | Parent's passport copy, in case of minors(First and last page) |
| 10 | Aadhaar Card |
| 11 | Rent Agreement |
