UIDAI Allows Online Aadhaar Address Updates
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) now lets people update their Aadhaar address online.
This means you don't have to go to a physical center.
You can log in with your Aadhaar number and a special code sent to your phone.
Then, you enter your new address and upload proof like an electricity bill or bank statement.
UIDAI checks these documents, which usually takes about 7 to 10 days.
After that, you can download your updated Aadhaar card from the UIDAI website.
This makes it easier for people to keep their important information up-to-date.
However, the Uttar Pradesh government has directed all departments not to accept Aadhaar cards as proof of birth, emphasizing that Aadhaar is not a birth certificate or nationality document.
UIDAI allows online Aadhaar address updates through the Self Service Portal.
Users need to log in with their Aadhaar number and OTP received on their registered mobile number.
Valid proof documents include electricity bills, rental agreements, bank statements, and more.
The verification process takes 7 to 10 working days, and applicants receive a URN to track the status.
Upon approval, the updated e-Aadhaar can be downloaded directly from the UIDAI portal.
