Whether you’ve recently moved to a new place or discovered an error in your Aadhaar card’s address, it’s crucial to keep your Aadhaar details up to date. Your Aadhaar card’s address is a vital piece of information that affects various official processes, such as banking transactions, access to government benefits, and more. In this article, we will guide you through the process of changing your Aadhar card address online, making it a hassle-free experience.
Step 1: Visit the My Aadhaar Portal
The first step in changing your Aadhaar card address online is to visit the official UIDAI website, which can be accessed at https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/. Once on the website, log in to your Aadhaar account.
Step 2: Click on ‘Address Update’
After logging in, click on the ‘Address Update’ option, which will lead you to the address updating process.
Step 3: Select ‘Update Aadhaar Online’
Within the address update section, choose the ‘Update Aadhaar Online’ option. Take some time to read through the instructions provided, so you understand the requirements for changing your address in your Aadhaar Card. Then, click on ‘Proceed to Update Aadhaar.’
Step 4: Input New Address Details
Carefully input the new address details as required and upload the necessary documents to support the Aadhar card address change.
Step 5: Pay the Nominal Fee
To complete the process, you will be required to pay a nominal fee of ₹50.
Step 6: Note Your Service Request Number (SRN)
Upon successful submission, you will receive a Service Request Number (SRN). This number is crucial for checking the status of your Aadhaar address update in the future.
Step 7: Confirmation SMS
After an internal review is conducted, you will receive a confirmation SMS notifying you of the status of your address update.
Address Update Processing Time
It’s essential to note that when you initiate an Aadhar card address change online, the update doesn’t happen instantly. The UIDAI processes each request meticulously, verifying the provided documents and details. Typically, it takes approximately 10-15 days for the complete address update to reflect in the system. During this waiting period, keep your Service Request Number (SRN) handy, as you will need it to check the Aadhaar address update status on the official UIDAI website. This meticulous process ensures the authenticity of each update.

To change the address on your Aadhaar card, you will need to provide valid supporting documents. The following documents are accepted for address verification:
- Passport (Yours, your spouse’s, or for minors, their parents’).
- Bank Statement/Passbook from a recognized bank or post office.
- Ration Card.
