UIDAI now lets Aadhaar holders update addresses online through the Aadhaar app without visiting centres. Here's the step-by-step process.
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.
