Log in to myAadhaar
Open myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in and log in with your Aadhaar number and the OTP sent to your registered mobile.
Choose address update
Select the option to update your address in Aadhaar.
Enter the new address
Type the address in English. It is converted into your regional language, and you can correct the conversion before going ahead.
Upload your address proof
Upload a clear colour scan of the original document. It must be in your name and show the address you entered.
Pay and note the SRN
Complete the payment. A Service Request Number (SRN) is shown and sent by SMS; download the receipt.
Track the request
Use "Check Aadhaar Update Status" with your SRN. Once updated, you can download the new e-Aadhaar.
Documents needed
- Ration card, Voter ID, Indian passport or MGNREGA job card (accepted for identity and address)
- Electricity, water, gas, telephone, mobile or broadband bill (not older than 3 months)
- Bank statement (not older than 3 months), or signed and stamped bank/post office passbook with photo
- Valid rent or lease agreement

Common questions
Can I update my address without a registered mobile number?
Not online. UIDAI says the mobile number must be registered with Aadhaar to use online services. Visit an Aadhaar centre to add your mobile number first.
Why was my address update rejected?
Common reasons UIDAI gives: the proof was not valid, was not in your name, did not match the address you entered, or the scan was not a clear colour copy of the original.
Is the free myAadhaar update the same as an address change?
No. The free service (till 14.06.2027) is for "document update" — re-submitting proof of identity and address for the details already in Aadhaar. Changing the address is a demographic update, which UIDAI lists at ₹75.
How long does it take?
UIDAI says normally 90% of update requests are completed within 30 days.
