Aadhaar Address Update Online 2026: Complete Guide to Change Your Address

Aadhaar is one of the most widely used identity documents in India. It is used for identity verification, government services, financial services, subsidies, banking-related processes and many other services.

If you have moved to a new house, changed your city, shifted to another state or your Aadhaar address contains an error, you can update the address in your Aadhaar.

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) provides different ways to update your address. Depending on the service available to you, you can use the MyAadhaar portal, the Aadhaar App, or visit an Aadhaar Enrolment and Update Centre.

The current UIDAI information shows that address update is available online, and a registered mobile number is required for MyAadhaar online services. UIDAI also provides an Aadhaar App through which address update can be initiated.

This complete guide explains Aadhaar address update online 2026, required documents, current fees, online and offline procedures, status tracking, processing time, common rejection reasons and frequently asked questions.

UIDAI’s current service information lists ₹75 for a separate demographic update, which includes address, while submission of POI/POA documents through MyAadhaar is currently free until 14 June 2027.

What Is Aadhaar Address Update?

Aadhaar address update means changing the residential address stored in the Aadhaar database.

For example, you may need an address update if:

You have moved to a new house.
You have moved from one city to another.
You have shifted from one state to another.
Your existing address contains a spelling mistake.
Your house number has changed.
Your locality or street information has changed.
Your address has changed after marriage.
Your Aadhaar address does not match your current address.

UIDAI allows an Aadhaar holder to request an address update online through MyAadhaar or by visiting an Aadhaar Enrolment/Update Centre with valid supporting documents.

Can Aadhaar Address Be Updated Online?

Yes.

UIDAI currently provides an online address update facility through the MyAadhaar portal.

For MyAadhaar online services, your mobile number must be registered with Aadhaar because authentication is performed using an OTP. You also need a valid Proof of Address document to support the new address.

You can access the official portal here:

MyAadhaar Official Portal

Always check that you are using an official UIDAI website before entering your Aadhaar number or OTP.

Aadhaar Address Update Online: Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Open the Official MyAadhaar Website

Go to the official MyAadhaar portal:

Open MyAadhaar

Do not enter your Aadhaar number, OTP or other personal information on unknown websites.

Step 2: Login Using Your Aadhaar Number

Enter your Aadhaar number and complete the required verification.

An OTP will be sent to your Aadhaar-registered mobile number.

Enter the OTP to access the available MyAadhaar services.

UIDAI confirms that a registered mobile number is required for online Aadhaar services through MyAadhaar.

Step 3: Select Address Update

After logging in, look for the address update service.

Select the option related to Aadhaar Address Update.

UIDAI’s current website specifically lists Address Update as an available MyAadhaar service.

Step 4: Enter Your New Address

Enter your new residential address carefully.

Depending on the address format, information may include:

House or flat number
Building name
Street
Road
Area
Village or town
City
District
State
PIN code

Make sure the information entered is consistent with your supporting Proof of Address.

A mismatch between the address entered and the address shown on the supporting document can lead to rejection. UIDAI specifically states that the address details entered should match the address on the submitted document.

Step 5: Upload Proof of Address

You will need an acceptable Proof of Address, commonly called a POA document.

The document should be:

Valid
Clear
Readable
In the Aadhaar holder’s name, where required
Consistent with the address being requested
Verifiable
Uploaded in the format requested by UIDAI

UIDAI states that uploaded images should be clear and coloured scans of the original document for online address updates.

For some documents, such as passports, rent agreements and property agreements, multiple pages may need to be uploaded.

Step 6: Check the Address Carefully

Before submitting the request, carefully check:

Name
House number
Street
Locality
City
District
State
PIN code
Document details
Language/transliteration

A small mistake can create problems during verification.

UIDAI’s online system also provides address information in English with transliteration into supported regional languages.

Step 7: Pay the Applicable Fee

For a normal separate demographic update such as address update, the current UIDAI fee is ₹75.

UIDAI’s current Aadhaar service charges list address as part of demographic information and specify ₹75 when the demographic update is performed separately.

Important Fee Update

Older articles and websites may still mention ₹50 for Aadhaar address update.

For a current 2026 article, you should use the latest UIDAI-published operational fee of ₹75.

Also note the difference between:

Address/Demographic Update: ₹75 when done separately.

POI/POA Document Update: Currently free through MyAadhaar until 14 June 2027; ₹75 at an Aadhaar centre.

These are two different services and should not be confused.

Step 8: Submit the Request

After completing the details, document upload and applicable payment, submit the request.

You should receive an acknowledgement containing an SRN (Service Request Number) or relevant acknowledgement details.

Keep this number safely.

You can use the available UIDAI status service to check the progress of your request.

How to Update Aadhaar Address Using the Aadhaar App

UIDAI has also introduced an Aadhaar App that provides certain Aadhaar services.

Current UIDAI information says that the Aadhaar App allows users to update their mobile number and address directly through the app without visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra.

For an address update using your own document, the current UIDAI process includes:

Open the Aadhaar App.
Login using the app’s authentication method.
Go to Services.
Select Address Update.
Upload the required document.
Enter the new address.
Check the preview.
Complete the required authentication.
Pay the applicable ₹75 fee.
Download or save the acknowledgement/SRN.

UIDAI also provides an option for certain family-based address updates using the Head of Family (HoF) method. In that process, the eligible family member must approve the request through the Aadhaar App.

Because app features can change, users should always follow the instructions displayed in the current official Aadhaar App.

Aadhaar Address Update Through Family Member’s Aadhaar

In certain situations, UIDAI provides a Head of Family-based address update facility.

This can be useful where the Aadhaar holder does not have their own acceptable Proof of Address document but is eligible to use the family-based process.

The current UIDAI FAQ explains that the Aadhaar holder can enter the Aadhaar number of the eligible family member, select the relationship and complete the required authentication. The Head of Family then receives a request and must approve it through the Aadhaar App.

The exact eligibility and relationship requirements should be checked on the official UIDAI service before submitting the request.

Aadhaar Address Update Offline

If you cannot use the online service or prefer face-to-face assistance, you can visit an Aadhaar Enrolment and Update Centre.

You do not necessarily need to visit the same centre where your Aadhaar was originally enrolled.

UIDAI states that Aadhaar holders can visit an Aadhaar Enrolment/Update Centre for demographic and biometric updates.

Step 1: Find an Aadhaar Centre

Use the official UIDAI/Bhuvan Aadhaar Centre locator.

Find an Aadhaar Enrolment/Update Centre

You can search using available location or PIN-code options.

Step 2: Carry Your Original Documents

Take:

Aadhaar details/card
Original Proof of Address
Any other documents requested for the particular update

UIDAI’s process requires original documents to be presented at the centre, where they are verified and electronically copied before being returned.

Step 3: Fill the Update Form

At the centre, provide the information required for the address update.

Check every field before signing or confirming the request.

Step 4: Submit the Documents

The operator will verify and scan the supporting document.

Make sure the document is valid and the address is clearly visible.

Step 5: Complete Authentication

The Aadhaar centre may perform the required authentication as part of the update process.

Step 6: Pay the Fee

For a separate demographic update, including address, the current charge at an Aadhaar centre is ₹75.

Ask for the official acknowledgement after submission.

Documents Required for Aadhaar Address Update

UIDAI maintains an official list of acceptable supporting documents.

Common examples of documents that may serve as Proof of Address include:

Indian Passport
Ration/PDS card
Voter identity card
Electricity bill
Water bill
Gas bill
Telephone/mobile/broadband bill
Bank or Post Office passbook with photograph, where applicable
Bank account or credit-card statement meeting UIDAI’s requirements
Valid rent, lease or leave-and-licence agreement
Property tax receipt
MGNREGA/NREGS Job Card
Labour Card
Domicile Certificate
Resident Certificate
Jan-Aadhaar
Other documents specified in UIDAI’s current supporting-document list

The exact acceptability depends on the current UIDAI document list and the purpose for which the document is being submitted.

UIDAI List of Acceptable Supporting Documents

Important Rules for Aadhaar Address Proof

A document should generally satisfy UIDAI’s requirements.

The official supporting-document list states that a document should be currently valid, should relate to the person for whom it is being submitted, contain verifiable information and be issued by an appropriate authority.

For online address update, UIDAI also says that:

The document must be valid.
It should be acceptable as Proof of Address.
The document should relate to the Aadhaar holder.
The address entered should match the document.
The uploaded image should be clear and coloured.

Therefore, do not upload an unclear photograph or a document showing a different address.

Can a Bank Passbook Be Used for Aadhaar Address Update?

A bank passbook can be accepted in circumstances specified by UIDAI.

For example, UIDAI lists a duly signed and stamped Scheduled Commercial Bank/Post Office passbook with photograph among documents that may be used as Proof of Address.

Always check the latest official document list before submitting the passbook because requirements can depend on the document type.

Can a Rent Agreement Be Used?

Yes, a valid rent, lease or leave-and-licence agreement is included in UIDAI’s list of commonly accepted Proof of Address documents.

If you are a tenant who has recently moved to a new city, this can be useful when it meets the applicable UIDAI requirements.

For online applications, upload all required pages if the document contains multiple pages.

How Long Does Aadhaar Address Update Take?

Aadhaar updates are not always completed immediately.

UIDAI currently states that normally 90% of update requests are completed within 30 days.

This means 30 days should not be treated as a guaranteed completion time for every individual request.

Requests are subject to verification and validation. Submission of an update request does not automatically guarantee acceptance.

Therefore, avoid websites claiming that a normal Aadhaar address update is guaranteed to be completed within one or two days.

Can Aadhaar Address Be Updated in Two Days?

There is no general guarantee that an Aadhaar address update will be completed in two days.

UIDAI says that normally 90% of update requests are completed within 30 days. The actual time can depend on verification and processing.

If your request remains pending, continue checking the official status service using your acknowledgement/SRN.

How to Check Aadhaar Address Update Status

After submitting your request, save your SRN or acknowledgement information.

You can use the official UIDAI/MyAadhaar status service to check your update request.

Check Aadhaar Update Status on MyAadhaar

Keep the following information available:

SRN
Aadhaar number, where required
Registered mobile number
Other acknowledgement details

Do not share your OTP with anyone.

Why Can an Aadhaar Address Update Request Be Rejected?

An address update can be rejected if the submitted information or document does not satisfy UIDAI’s requirements.

Common reasons include:

1. Invalid Proof of Address

The submitted document may not be an accepted POA document.

2. Address Mismatch

The address entered in the request may not match the address shown on the document.

3. Document Is Not in the Required Name

The document may not satisfy the applicable requirement regarding the Aadhaar holder’s name.

4. Poor Document Quality

A blurry, incomplete or unreadable scan can create problems.

5. Expired Document

A document that is no longer valid may not be accepted.

6. Missing Pages

For documents such as passports or agreements, required pages may be missing.

UIDAI specifically lists invalid documents, name mismatch, address mismatch and unclear document images among reasons for online address update rejection.

What Should You Do If Your Aadhaar Address Update Is Rejected?

If your request is rejected:

Check the reason shown in the status or communication.
Review the Proof of Address.
Make sure the document is currently valid.
Check that the name and address are correct.
Upload a clear document.
Submit a new request if appropriate.
If necessary, visit an Aadhaar Enrolment/Update Centre.

Do not repeatedly submit random documents without checking the reason for rejection.

Do You Need Your Old Aadhaar Address Proof?

No, you need supporting documentation for the new address you want to update.

The document submitted should support the requested address.

For online update, UIDAI verifies the submitted Proof of Address against the requested information.

Is a Registered Mobile Number Required?

For MyAadhaar online services, yes.

UIDAI states that a mobile number registered with Aadhaar is required for online services because OTP authentication is used.

If you do not have access to your registered mobile number, you can visit an Aadhaar Enrolment/Update Centre.

UIDAI also states that mobile-number update itself is not permitted through the traditional online MyAadhaar update process and requires an Aadhaar centre in applicable situations.

Is Aadhaar Address Update Free?

It depends on the service.

Address/Demographic Update

The current UIDAI fee is ₹75 when demographic information such as address is updated separately.

POI/POA Document Update

If you are only updating/submitting your supporting identity and address documents, UIDAI currently allows document submission through MyAadhaar without a fee until 14 June 2027.

At an Aadhaar centre, the applicable document-update charge is ₹75.

Therefore, articles saying simply “Aadhaar address update is ₹50” are outdated for the current UIDAI service information.

Aadhaar Address Update vs Document Update

These two services should not be confused.

Address Update

You are changing the actual address stored in Aadhaar.

Current separate demographic-update fee: ₹75.

Document Update

You are submitting updated Proof of Identity and/or Proof of Address documents to the Aadhaar database without necessarily changing the demographic information.

UIDAI currently allows this through MyAadhaar without a fee until 14 June 2027.

This distinction is important when explaining Aadhaar services to readers.

Important Safety Tips for Aadhaar Update

Follow these precautions:

Use only official UIDAI websites.
Do not share your OTP with anyone.
Do not send your full Aadhaar details to unknown agents.
Check the website address before logging in.
Keep your SRN/acknowledgement safely.
Use clear documents.
Do not upload fake or edited documents.
Check the final address carefully before submission.
Download or save the acknowledgement.
