Updated: Monday, May 13, 2019, 9:40 [IST]

There are instances were an individual has recently changed their residence and do not have any documentary proof for the new address. To make it easier for those facing this issue, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) now has an alternative to change Aadhaar card address online easily.

Documents required

While the proof of residence of the certain individual is missing, the new facility allows Aadhaar holders to update address online with the help of their family members, friends or landlord.

With the help of an address validation letter, the Aadhaar address can be updated with the consent of an address verifier, who can be a relative, friend or landlord, who is willing to let you use their address as proof.

How to update Aadhaar address online?

Visit the UIDAI website and request for a generation of Aadhaar validation letter.
Your address verifier will get an SMS with a link to give consent for the update.
On clicking the link, the address verifier will have to login with Aadhaar and an OTP will be generated. The OTP allows the friend, relative or landlord give consent for using their address as proof.
An address validation letter with secret code will be sent to his or her address by post within the next 30 days.
Once the secret code is received from your address verifier, go to the UIDAI website and click on 'Proceed to Update Address' link. The code will allow you to update the address.
Note down the Update Request Number to track the progress of the address update.
On approval of your request, you can download the e-Aadhaar online.
