How to change the address on an Aadhar card

You can update your address in Aadhaar using a validation letter even if you don’t have address proof. The address verifier (a family member, relative, friend, or landlord) who is prepared to allow you to use their address as proof provides you with a validation letter as their authorization and authentication. The address will receive an Address Validation Letter from UIDAI that can be used for an online update.

• To request a validation letter, choose the “Request for Address Validation” letter option on the same Self Service Update Portal.
• Log in with your Aadhaar card and submit the address verifier’s Aadhaar information. You will receive a consent message at the email address or mobile number provided for your verifier.
• The request will be invalid if the verifier does not consent within the allotted period.
• A validation letter with a secret code is delivered to the address of the Address Verifier once the consent has been provided.
• Use that validation code to online update your Aadhaar card address.

How to check the status of an Aadhaar update online

• Go back to the Self Service Update Portal and look for the ‘Check Status Update’ option this time if you want to check the status of the Aadhaar update.
• After submitting an online request for an Aadhaar update, enter the URN or SRN that was delivered to you through SMS, followed by your 12 digit Aadhaar number.
• Choose “Send OTP” after entering the appropriate CAPTCHA code in the box.
• Enter the OTP and choose “Check Status” in the OTP area.
