If you have moved or found an error in your address, this guide to Aadhaar Address Update and Status explains how to choose an update route, prepare your details, pay the listed fee and follow your request. Use UIDAI’s official services rather than third-party websites, and check the portal for the latest instructions before submitting. Requirements and available options can change, so the instructions shown for your request should take priority over an old checklist or advice from an unofficial source.

Aadhaar Address Update and Status: quick guide

Item	What to know
Online service	Start from the official MyAadhaar portal. The available route may ask you to provide supporting documents or use a family member’s Aadhaar for an address request.
Fee shown by UIDAI	UIDAI lists a ₹75 fee for an address update. Confirm the amount displayed before payment.
In-person option	Visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra or another authorised Aadhaar centre if you need assistance or the online option is unsuitable.
Request tracking	Use the official Check Update Status service and enter the details requested on the page.
Processing time	Processing can vary. Follow the status page rather than relying on an estimated date from an unofficial source.

This guide is intended to help you prepare and understand the stages of a request. It does not replace the instructions on UIDAI’s website. In particular, do not assume that a particular document, family-member route or app feature will be available for every request. Confirm the route, evidence requirements and fee on the official service before you submit.

Before you begin: confirm the route and prepare your details

Start by deciding whether you want to use the online service or ask for help at an authorised centre. The online route is a convenient place to check what UIDAI currently offers for your account. If the portal does not provide a suitable option, or you are unsure how to complete a step, check the official centre information or UIDAI help options.

Before entering anything, write down the address as you want it to appear and compare it with the information you plan to provide. Check the house or building details, street or locality, town or other location fields, state and PIN code where those fields apply. This is a careful-review checklist, not a list of mandatory fields: use the fields and format that the official service displays. If a field is not requested, do not try to force extra information into another field unless the portal’s directions tell you to do so.

Have the relevant reference details or supporting evidence available, but share them only through the official process. If you plan to use a family member’s Aadhaar, first confirm that the portal offers that route for your request and read its current instructions about eligibility, consent and verification. Avoid sending Aadhaar information or copies to strangers who offer to submit the request for you.

Ways to update your Aadhaar address

Online through MyAadhaar

Open the official MyAadhaar portal and sign in using the method it provides. Find the address-update option shown for your account and follow the on-screen steps. UIDAI’s service information describes address updates using supporting documents or a family member’s Aadhaar. The portal will indicate which route is available and what information or evidence it requires.

Read each instruction before moving to the next screen. Check that the address you enter is complete and that its details match the evidence or verification route you are using. Review spelling, numbers and the PIN code particularly carefully. If you notice an error before final submission, correct it in the form rather than assuming it can be fixed automatically later.

Follow the verification and payment steps displayed by the official service. UIDAI lists ₹75 for an address update, but confirm the amount shown at checkout before paying. When the request is submitted, save the acknowledgement or reference details displayed by the service. Keep them somewhere private and accessible so you can use them to check progress. A successful submission means the request has been received; it does not, by itself, mean the address has been approved or updated.

At an Aadhaar centre

If you cannot complete the request online, visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra or another authorised Aadhaar centre. Use UIDAI’s official centre information before travelling so you can identify an appropriate location and check the available guidance. Bring the documents or details relevant to the route you intend to use, but confirm the current requirements with UIDAI or the selected centre rather than relying on an outdated list.

At the centre, explain that you need an address update and ask what the centre can process for your case. Follow its instructions about the information and evidence required, and check the address details shown during the process before confirming them. Ask how you will receive or retain the request acknowledgement so you can track the submission afterwards. Check any fee that applies to the service and use the payment method presented through the authorised process; do not pay an individual through a personal account.

Step-by-step online request checklist

Step	Action	Why it matters
1. Choose a route	Open MyAadhaar for the online option, or locate an authorised centre if you need in-person help.	The route available to you determines what information or evidence you may need to provide.
2. Read current requirements	Review the portal’s instructions and accepted-document information. Use a family-member route only if the portal offers it and you meet its requirements.	Requirements can change, and not every document or route necessarily applies to every request.
3. Prepare the address	Write the complete address as it should appear and compare it with the details you will submit.	A careful review can help you catch missing or mistyped information before submission.
4. Complete verification	Follow the verification steps shown on the official service.	The portal will direct you to the method and information applicable to your request.
5. Confirm the fee and submit	UIDAI lists ₹75 for an address update; check the amount displayed before making payment and finalising the request.	Using the displayed fee and payment process helps you avoid unofficial payment requests.
6. Save the acknowledgement	Keep the request reference or acknowledgement details provided after submission.	You may need those details to check the request’s progress.
7. Track the request	Use UIDAI’s official status service and enter the information requested there.	The official result is the appropriate place to check whether further action is needed.
8. Download after approval	When the update is approved, use UIDAI’s official Aadhaar download service and review the latest e-Aadhaar.	This lets you check whether the address shown in the downloaded version is correct.

Documents and address details to prepare

UIDAI’s accepted-document requirements can change, and the right evidence depends on the route offered for your request. Do not assume that every identity or address document will be accepted. Before starting, check the current accepted-document list linked from UIDAI and follow the instructions for the specific address-update service. If the portal asks for a particular type of evidence, use the requirements it gives rather than guessing which alternative might be suitable.

Update route	What to check	Before submission
Supporting-document route	Whether your document appears on UIDAI’s current accepted list for an address update.	Make sure the document is readable and that its address details support the address you enter. Follow the portal’s instructions for providing it.
Family-member route	Whether the portal permits this option for your request and what relationship, consent or verification steps it requires.	Have the family member’s Aadhaar details available only for the official process. Follow the portal’s instructions and do not share those details with an unsolicited contact.
In-person request	What the selected authorised centre can process and which documents or details it asks you to bring.	Check the official centre information before travelling and follow the centre’s directions.

Make sure the information you type is consistent with the route you selected. If the evidence does not support the address entered, the request may not succeed. Do not edit or alter a document to make it appear to match. If you are uncertain whether the document or details meet the requirements, pause and consult UIDAI’s current information or the authorised centre before submitting.

How to check Aadhaar Address Update and Status

For Aadhaar Address Update and Status tracking, use the official Check Aadhaar Status page or open the MyAadhaar portal and select the status service. Enter the acknowledgement or request information requested by the page. Type it exactly as it appears on your acknowledgement, and check for accidental spaces or mistyped characters. Use the official result to decide whether you need to wait, review a problem or take another step.

Status or outcome	What it means for your next step
In progress	The request has not yet reached a final outcome shown on the status page. Wait and check again later. UIDAI does not provide a guaranteed completion date in the information available here.
Successful or updated	Use UIDAI’s official download service to obtain the latest e-Aadhaar. Check the address shown in that version and confirm that it is the one you requested.
Rejected or unsuccessful	Read the reason shown in the official result. Review the address and document requirements, correct the issue where possible, and submit a fresh request if the service permits.
Reference not recognised	Compare the details entered with your acknowledgement and try again carefully. If the problem continues, use UIDAI’s official help or grievance options rather than a third-party recovery service.

Check the status page again if it shows that the request is still in progress. Avoid treating a date or promise from an unofficial website, caller or agent as confirmation of when your request will be completed. If you need help, use the contact or grievance routes published by UIDAI. Keep your acknowledgement private when asking for assistance and provide information only through a channel you have verified as official.

What to do after the address is updated

Once the official status indicates success, download the latest e-Aadhaar using UIDAI’s Download Aadhaar service. Review the address displayed in the downloaded version rather than relying only on the submission screen or a saved draft. Check the details you can compare with your request, including spelling, PIN code and locality or house information where applicable.

If the displayed address appears correct, retain the updated e-Aadhaar using a method you consider secure. If it does not appear as expected, return to the official status result and read any available information about the request. Use UIDAI’s help or grievance options if the result does not explain what to do. Do not submit another request simply because you have not yet downloaded the updated version; first check the status of the request already made.

Fees and processing time

UIDAI lists a ₹75 fee for an address update. Treat the amount displayed on the official service as the point to confirm before you pay, since the service page is the appropriate place to see the current payment instructions. Do not rely on an old screenshot, a message from an agent or a payment link sent by an unknown person. If a payment request seems unexpected, leave the conversation and check the amount and service directly through UIDAI.

Processing time can vary, and the information available here does not establish a guaranteed completion date. Keep the acknowledgement and use the official status service for the current result. An estimate published by an unofficial site should not replace the status shown for your request. If a request remains unresolved or you receive an outcome you do not understand, consult UIDAI’s official help options.

Common problems and safer ways to avoid them

• Document not accepted: Check UIDAI’s latest accepted-document list before applying. Do not rely on an old checklist shared elsewhere, and do not assume a document is eligible simply because it contains an address.
• Address entered incorrectly: Review spelling, PIN code and every address field before submission. A successful submission does not guarantee that a typo will be corrected automatically.
• Family-member route unclear: Use this route only when the official portal offers it and explains the steps for your request. Follow its verification and consent instructions rather than relying on another person’s informal description.
• Lost acknowledgement: Keep a private copy of the reference details after submission. Avoid posting the acknowledgement publicly or sharing it with strangers.
• Unexpected fee or payment request: Confirm the amount on the official UIDAI service before paying. Do not transfer money to an agent or personal account.
• OTP or Aadhaar details requested by a caller: Never disclose an OTP, PIN or sensitive Aadhaar information to an unsolicited caller. Sign in only through official UIDAI links.
• Portal not working: Try again later or use UIDAI’s official help and grievance channels. Avoid lookalike websites and unofficial apps.
• Status reference not found: Check the acknowledgement and re-enter the requested information exactly. If the issue continues, contact UIDAI through an official channel rather than giving the reference to an unknown person.

Online updating: advantages and limitations

Advantages	Limitations to keep in mind
You can begin through the official portal without first travelling to a centre.	The online route may depend on the verification method, documents or family-member details required for your request.
The portal provides a way to submit and track an update request.	Processing time and approval are not guaranteed; an incomplete or unsuitable request may not succeed.
You can review the information requested by the online service before completing the process.	Portal instructions and available options can change, so check the current directions rather than following an old walkthrough.
UIDAI’s app offers several Aadhaar services, including address updates, according to its FAQ.	App features and requirements can change, so check the official app instructions before relying on a particular feature.
An authorised centre is an alternative if the online route is unsuitable or you need assistance.	Check official centre information before travelling and confirm what the selected centre can process.

Other Aadhaar services worth knowing

• Aadhaar App: UIDAI says the app supports address updates, biometric lock and unlock, e-Aadhaar download, authentication-history checks and request tracking. The app requires a compatible smartphone and internet access; consult the official app listing and in-app directions for current instructions.
• Mobile number update: UIDAI’s Aadhaar App FAQ lists mobile-number update among the app’s services. Check the current app instructions to see whether your request can be completed there; otherwise use an authorised centre.
• Mandatory Biometric Update: UIDAI’s homepage states that MBU is free for children aged 5–17 until 30 September 2027. This is a separate service from changing an address.
• Other online tools: UIDAI’s MyAadhaar portal also links to services such as Aadhaar download, status checking, Aadhaar validity checking, PVC card ordering, VID generation or retrieval and EID or UID retrieval. Check each official service for its own instructions; these tools do not replace the address-update process.

Privacy and security while making a request

Use a UIDAI link that you have checked, and avoid entering Aadhaar information on a page reached through an unexpected message or advertisement. Do not share OTPs, PINs, passwords or sensitive information with callers or people claiming they can guarantee approval. UIDAI’s official service should show the steps applicable to your request; an agent’s claim that they can bypass those steps is not a reason to disclose private details.

Keep your acknowledgement and any documents you use in a private place. Share information only when it is required by the official route you have chosen. If you use a shared device, take care not to leave personal information visible or saved where someone else can access it. These precautions do not change UIDAI’s requirements, but they can help you avoid exposing your details while completing them.

Final checklist before you submit

• You opened the official MyAadhaar service or confirmed the authorised centre you plan to visit.
• You checked which route is available and read its current instructions.
• You confirmed that the supporting document or family-member route is permitted for your request.
• You reviewed the address carefully, including spelling and PIN code.
• You checked the fee displayed by the official service before payment.
• You know how to keep the acknowledgement and check the official status page.
• You will download and review the latest e-Aadhaar only after the status indicates approval.

Conclusion

For an Aadhaar Address Update and Status request, start with UIDAI’s MyAadhaar portal, check which update route is offered and verify the accepted-document rules before submitting. UIDAI lists a ₹75 address-update fee, which you should confirm on the official service before payment. Review the address, keep your acknowledgement, track the request on the official status page and download the updated e-Aadhaar after approval. If the online route does not suit your case, check official centre information or UIDAI help options.
