What Can Be Updated Online — And What Requires a Centre Visit

Documents Accepted for Address Update — Complete List

You need just one document from the list below as proof of your new address:

Tier 1 — Strong Address Proof (Preferred)

If You Have No Documents — Address Validation Letter

If you genuinely don't have any of the above documents at your new address, you can use the Address Validation Letter process. Your Aadhaar holder (verifier) who already has a valid Aadhaar at the same address initiates the process online — and after their OTP verification, your address update goes through without any document upload from your side.

Frequently Asked Questions — Verified 2025

• My address update request was rejected — what should I do?+
  Rejection usually happens because: the uploaded document is not clear, the name on the document doesn't match the Aadhaar name, or the document is too old. Re-submit with a clearer scan of a different accepted document. If the name mismatch is due to spelling, first update your name in Aadhaar, then update the address.
• Can I update address in Aadhaar using a rental agreement?+
  A registered rent agreement is accepted. An unregistered rent agreement is not accepted as standalone proof but can be used with a notarized affidavit in some cases. A better option for tenants is a recent bank statement, utility bill in your name at the new address, or the Address Validation Letter process where your landlord verifies your address.
• How to download updated Aadhaar after address change?+
  Once your update is approved (check status via SRN at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in), download your updated e-Aadhaar: go to myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in → "Download Aadhaar" → enter Aadhaar number → OTP verification → download PDF. The PDF is password protected — password is the first 4 letters of your name in caps + birth year (e.g., RAJE1990).
• How long does Aadhaar address update take online?+
  Online Aadhaar address updates typically take 30 to 90 days to process after submission. You can track your update status using your Service Request Number (SRN) at myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in → "Check Update Status". You will also receive an SMS on your registered mobile once the update is complete.
• What is the Address Validation Letter and how does it work?+
  If you don't have address proof documents in your name at the new address, you can use the Address Validation Letter (AVL) process. A verifier — such as your landlord, employer, or a relative living at the same address — approves your new address using their Aadhaar and an OTP. UIDAI sends a secret code to that address by post, and you submit the code online to confirm. This is particularly useful for students and new tenants.
• Can I update Aadhaar address if I don't have a registered mobile number?+
  No. Online Aadhaar address updates require OTP verification on your registered mobile. If your mobile number is not registered or has changed, you must first visit the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra (find it at appointments.uidai.gov.in) to update your mobile biometrically for ₹50. After that, you can do the address update online for free.
• Is there a limit on how many times I can update Aadhaar address?+
  No — there is no limit on the number of address updates. You can update your Aadhaar address every time you move to a new location. Each update requires a valid proof of the new address. Only name and date of birth have one-time change restrictions — not address.
• What documents are accepted for Aadhaar address update?+
  Accepted documents include: passport, voter ID card, driving licence, electricity bill (not older than 3 months), water or gas bill (not older than 3 months), bank passbook or statement with address, post office account statement, registered rent agreement, property tax receipt, and government-issued allotment letter. The document must clearly show your name and current address.
