Aadhaar Address Update Online: The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) said that over 12,000 address are updated online in Aadhaar card every day. UIDAI also reiterates that request for update of address in the 12-digit biometric is completed every day. There are a host of reasons why a citizen needs to modify their Aadhaar card address. Some of these are such as marriage may lead to residents changing their basic demographic details such as name and address. Address and the mobile number could also change due to migration to newer locations. Residents may also want changes in their relative’s details due to changes in life events such as marriage, death of a relative etc. In addition, residents could have other personal reasons to change their mobile number, email address etc.

UIDAI via its Twitter account said, “You can update your address in Aadhaar online from https://ssup.uidai.gov.in/  The OTP for login is sent to your Aadhaar registered mobile number. You will need a colored scan of a valid address proof (see list here: https://uidai.gov.in/images/commdoc/valid_documents_list.pdf) in your name.”

If you want to change your address in Aadhaar card, you can do it online as well. UIDAI has a self-service online mode which offers address update to the residents where the resident can directly place the update request on the portal. The Aadhaar number and registered mobile number of the resident are required to login to the portal.

A resident gets an authentication using OTP on his/her registered mobile number.

To complete the update process, resident needs to upload the supporting POA documents, which will be verified against requested data at a later stage at UIDAI’s Update back-office by a Verifier. The resident needs to have mobile number registered with Aadhaar for using this service.

However, one must note that, if you are using self service update portal, then you must have your mobile number registered. If not registered, then you can do so by visiting nearest Permanent Enrolment centre with Supporting Documents.

Also, if you do not have your new address document, you can still update your current address by requesting for Address Validation Letter with the help of an Address Verifier.

Once verified, a Address Validation Letter is letter which is sent to the Address Verifier’s address. The letter will contain a secret code sent for validation after the Address Verifier consents to the use of his/her address by the requesting resident.

After the request is submitted successfully the resident will get the Aadhaar Validation Letter within 30 days from the date of raising request.

Hence, if you are planning to change your address, then you must take note of above mentioned points.
