UIDAI Permits Updating Addresses In Aadhaar Online 

Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has now permitted the to update addresses in Aadhaar online with the consent of the head of the family.

The new option to update address can be started after submitting proof of relationship documents like ration cards, mark sheets, marriage certificates, passports, etc. mentioning the name of both the applicant and head of the family (HOF) and the relationship between them. It requires OTP-based authentication by the HOF.

If an individual doesn’t have a proof of relationship document, UIDAI provides the resident to submit a self-declaration by the HOF in the UIDAI- prescribed format.

According to the statement, “The HoF-based online address update in Aadhaar will be of great help to the relative(s) of a resident like children, spouse, parents, etc, who don’t have supporting documents in their name to update the address in their Aadhaar. With people moving cities and towns due to various reasons within the country, such a facility will be beneficial for millions of people.”
