Updating your Aadhaar address is one of the most common government document tasks in India — whether you have moved to a new home, need to correct an outdated address, or require your current address on record for a bank or government application. This guide covers both the online method via the myAadhaar portal and the offline method at an Aadhaar enrolment centre.
Can you update your Aadhaar address online?
The online Aadhaar address update is available only if your mobile number is already registered and linked to your Aadhaar. An OTP is sent to this linked number for verification.
If your mobile number is not linked, you must visit an Aadhaar enrolment centre in person. You can check whether your number is linked by attempting an OTP login at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in.
Method 1: Online via the myAadhaar portal
Here is how to update your Aadhaar address online, step by step:
1
Log in at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.inEnter your 12-digit Aadhaar number and the OTP sent to your linked mobile number.
2
Select 'Update Aadhaar Online'From your dashboard, click 'Update Aadhaar Online' and choose 'Address' as the field to update.
3
Enter your new addressFill in all address fields accurately — house number, street, landmark, district, state, and PIN code.
4
Upload your proof of addressUpload a clear scan or photograph of one of the accepted proof-of-address documents listed below.
5
Pay the ₹50 update feePay the non-refundable ₹50 fee (including GST) online — this applies to the online update just as it does to the offline one.
6
Submit and save your URNReview the details and submit. You will receive an Update Request Number (URN) by SMS — keep it to track your request status.
Accepted proof-of-address documents
UIDAI accepts a variety of documents as proof of address. Commonly accepted options include:
Bank passbook or bank statement — Must be dated within the last 3 months and show your full current address.
Electricity, water, or gas utility bill — Must not be older than 3 months and should clearly show your name and address.
Registered rental agreement — A notarised or registered agreement in your name at the new address.
Passport or driving licence — A valid document showing your current address.
Letter from a gazetted officer or MP/MLA — Written on official letterhead, confirming your residential address.
No document in your own name? Use the Head of Family (HoF) method — UIDAI now lets you update your address using your Head of Family's Aadhaar instead — they approve via OTP, and you submit a proof of relationship (ration card, marriage certificate, birth certificate, or passport) in place of an address proof.
Method 2: Offline at an Aadhaar enrolment centre
If your mobile number is not linked to Aadhaar, follow these steps to update in person:
1
Find your nearest enrolment centreUse the 'Locate Enrolment Centre' tool on uidai.gov.in to find an authorised centre near you.
2
Fill in the Aadhaar Update/Correction FormCollect the form at the centre or download it from the UIDAI website. Write your new address clearly.
3
Carry your original documentsBring your original Aadhaar card and the proof-of-address document.
4
Submit at the counter and pay the feeHand in the completed form and a self-attested photocopy of your address proof. A fee of ₹50 applies for offline updates.
5
Collect your acknowledgement slipYou will receive a slip with your URN so you can track the update online.
How long does an Aadhaar address update take?
Online updates via myAadhaar typically take 5 to 10 business days to be reflected in your Aadhaar record. Track your status using the URN on the UIDAI website.
Offline updates submitted at an enrolment centre can take up to 30 days. If your update is rejected, you will receive an SMS with the reason so you can resubmit with the correct documents.
Common reasons Aadhaar address updates are rejected
Being aware of these can save you a resubmission:
Unclear or cut-off document image — The uploaded scan must be fully legible. Blurry or partially visible documents are rejected.
Document older than 3 months — Bills and bank statements must be recent. Always check the date before uploading.
Name mismatch — The name on your address proof must match (or closely match) the name on your Aadhaar. Even small spelling differences can cause a rejection.
Document not in your name — The proof must be in your own name. Documents in a family member's name are generally not accepted.
