List of Documents Required for Address Change

You need to upload a scanned copy of any one of the following documents as your Proof of Address (PoA). Ensure your name and the new address are clearly visible on the document.

  • Passport
  • Voter ID Card / E-Voter ID Card
  • Driving License
  • Bank Account Statement or Passbook (not older than 3 months)
  • Post Office Account Statement or Passbook (not older than 3 months)

Important Things to Keep in Mind

Registered Mobile Number is a Must: This entire online process works only if your mobile number is linked to your Aadhaar. If it isn’t, you will have to visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra first to link it.

Clear Scans: Ensure the document you upload is clear and readable. A blurry or cropped image will lead to rejection.

Check Details Before Submitting: Double-check all the details you’ve entered for your new address before final submission to avoid errors.

Keep the SRN Safe: The Service Request Number (SRN) is your only reference to track your application.

How to Check if Your Aadhaar Address is Updated

Curious about your application’s progress? Here’s how to check the Aadhaar update status:

  1. Go back to the myAadhaar portal: https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in/
  2. Scroll down to the ‘Services’ section and click on ‘Check Enrolment & Update Status’.
  3. Enter the SRN from your acknowledgement slip and the captcha code.
  4. Click ‘Submit’, and the current status of your request will be displayed on the screen.

Once your request is approved, you can download your new e-Aadhaar, which will have your updated address. And just like that, you’ve successfully updated your Aadhaar from the comfort of your home!
