Aadhaar address change online can be done through the official UIDAI portal without visiting an Aadhaar centre. However, mistakes in documents or information can lead to rejection of the update request.
Use a Valid Address Proof
For an online address update, applicants should use a valid address proof accepted by UIDAI. Documents such as an electricity bill, passport, bank passbook or ration card can be used if they are included in the accepted document list.
The name and new address on the supporting document should be clearly visible. Applicants should also make sure that the document contains the same address they want to update in Aadhaar.
Check Address Details Carefully
The address entered in the online form should match the supporting document. Even small differences in the house number, street name, PIN code or landmark can create problems during verification.
Applicants should also check the spelling of their name and other details before submitting the request. Any mismatch between the application and supporting document can result in rejection.
Upload Clear Documents
The supporting document should be clear and readable. Applicants should upload a good-quality scan or image of the document so that all details can be checked during verification.
Blurred, cropped or unclear documents can cause the request to be rejected. Applicants should therefore check the uploaded file carefully before submitting the application.
Track Aadhaar Update Status
After submitting the request and paying the applicable fee, applicants receive an update request number. This number can be used to track the status of the Aadhaar address update.
If the request is rejected, applicants should check the reason given by UIDAI and submit a fresh request with the correct information and valid supporting documents.
