Aadhaar address updation made easier: Here's how to change it
Deepika S
The new method allows Aadhaar holders to change their address with the consent of the head of their family. Here’s how to do it.
Visit the 'My Aadhaar' portal for updating addresses online.
You will be allowed to enter the Aadhaar number of the HOF. No other information of the HOF's Aadhaar will be displayed on the screen.
Post successful validation of the Aadhaar number of HOF, you will be required to upload the proof of relationship document.
You have to pay a fee of Rs 50 for the service.
On successful payment, a service request number (SRN) would be shared with the resident, and an SMS would be sent to the HOF about the address request.
The HOF is to approve the request and give his or her consent by logging into the My Aadhaar portal within 30 days from the date of receiving the notification.
If the HOF does not accept or decline the request within the stipulated 30 days of SRN creation, the request would be closed.
In case the request is closed or rejected due to non-acceptance of the HOF or rejected during the process, the amount shall not be refunded to the applicant.
