Your Aadhaar card serves as one of the most important identity documents in India, linking your demographic and biometric details to a unique 12-digit number. Keeping your Aadhaar address updated ensures smooth verification for government services, bank accounts, and KYC processes. The good news is you can easily change your address online via the UIDAI Self-Service Update Portal (SSUP) without visiting any enrolment centre.
Here’s how you can do it:
✅ Step 1: Visit the Official UIDAI Website
Go to the official UIDAI portal – https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in.
Click on the “Login” button under the “My Aadhaar” section.
✅ Step 2: Log in with Your Aadhaar Number
Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number.
Verify using the OTP sent to your registered mobile number.
(You must have your mobile number linked with Aadhaar to proceed.)
✅ Step 3: Select “Update Address Online”
Once logged in, choose “Update Address Online” under the “Update Aadhaar” section.
✅ Step 4: Enter Your New Address Details
Fill in your complete and accurate new address as per valid proof.
Double-check spellings and ensure it matches your proof document exactly.
✅ Step 5: Upload Supporting Documents
Upload a scanned copy of a valid address proof such as:
Passport
Voter ID card
Driving Licence
Bank statement/passbook
Utility bill (electricity, water, or gas)
Property tax receipt, etc.
UIDAI accepts multiple documents check the full list on their website.
✅ Step 6: Preview and Submit
Review all the details carefully before submission.
Confirm and submit your update request.
You will receive an Update Request Number (URN) note this down to track your update status later.
✅ Step 7: Track Update Status
Visit the UIDAI portal again and use your URN under the “Check Update Status” option. Once verified, your new address will be updated in the Aadhaar database, and you can download the updated e-Aadhaar online.
💡 Alternative Option: Update via Address Validation Letter
If you do not have valid address proof, UIDAI allows you to update your address using an Address Validation Letter. You’ll need a “verifier” someone whose address you can use and who already has that address verified in their Aadhaar. UIDAI will send a verification letter with a code to confirm the update.
📅 Processing Time and Fee
Processing Time: Typically 7–30 days.
Fee: Free if done online via SSUP.
⚠️ Important Tips
Ensure your mobile number is active and linked to your Aadhaar.
Enter your address in both English and local language carefully.
Use clear and readable scanned documents (in PDF, JPEG, or PNG format).
