The UIDAI has made it possible for Aadhaar cardholders to conveniently change the current address
An individual can do so by submitting an address validation letter online with the aid of an address validator, who can be any family member or friend or a homeowner. One can only update the address by following a certain criterion like resident’s and the address verifier’s mobile number should be linked to their respective Aadhaar number, the resident and the address verifier must be verified through OTP, and the address verifier must be authorised for use in the address database.
The UIDAI has launched a facility where you can update the address details on the Aadhaar without providing address proof. You will need to use the ‘Request for Aadhaar Validation Letter’ to complete the procedure. The four steps that are involved in the process are mentioned below:
Step 1 – Resident Initiates Request
- The resident must log in by providing the Aadhaar details.
- The Verifier Aadhaar details must be entered.
- An SRN will be sent.
Step 2 – Address Verifier Consents
- Click on the link that is sent to the registered mobile number.
- Log in with the Aadhaar details.
- Provide consent.
Step 3 – Address Verifier Consents
- A Verifier Consent is sent to the registered mobile number.
- Login by providing the SRN.
- Preview the address details.
- Change the language if needed.
- Submit the request.
Step 4 – User Secret Code to Complete
- A post will be sent with a letter and the Secret Code.
- Login to the address update portal.
- Change the address with the help of the Secret Code.
- Check the address and submit.
- A URN will be provided to check the status of the request.
The practice of getting the address changed via ‘address validation letter’ is dispensed / stopped by UIDAI on 23/12/2020. Kindly check up with UIDAI. The method you posted here is no more valid / acceptable by UIDAI.
