How to update your Aadhaar address online using the Aadhaar app
Changing the address on your Aadhaar card no longer requires a visit to an enrolment centre or submitting physical paperwork. With the updated Aadhaar app introduced by UIDAI, residents can now complete the entire address update process online using their smartphone. From document upload to request submission, the process is designed to make Aadhaar updates quicker, simpler, and more convenient.
- Start by downloading the official Aadhaar app on your smartphone.
Android users: Install from the Google Play Store
iPhone users: Install from Apple App Store
- Log In securely:
Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number or mobile number linked with Aadhaar
Complete authentication and set up: MPIN or Biometric/face authentication for added security
- Choose address update
- Inside the app: Open the Services section
- Select Address Update
Choose one of the available options: Update using your own valid address proof document, or Update using the Aadhaar details of a family member living at the same address
Upload a clear scanned copy or photo of an accepted address proof document, such as:
- Utility bill
- Bank statement/document
- Other approved address proof documents
- Pay the fee and submit
After uploading the required document pay the applicable update fee (around ₹75)
- Submit your request
UIDAI will verify the details. Once approved, the updated address is generally reflected within a few days to a couple of weeks.
