How To Check Address Change In Aadhar Card

Urgent Alert: Confirm your Aadhaar address change immediately! Follow these simple steps to verify the update and ensure accurate records.

Aadhaar cardholders who have recently updated their address need to verify the changes to avoid potential disruptions in accessing government services and benefits. This guide provides a straightforward method to check if your address update was successful.

Checking Your Aadhaar Address Change Status

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) offers multiple ways to check the status of your address change request. Here’s how:

Online Method via UIDAI Website

Visit the official UIDAI website: www.uidai.gov.in. Navigate to the 'My Aadhaar' section on the homepage. Select 'Check Aadhaar Update Status'.

Enter your Aadhaar Number (UID) and the Update Request Number (URN). The URN is generated when you submit your address change request. Enter the captcha code displayed on the screen and click 'Get Status'.

The website will display the current status of your address update. If the address has been updated, it will be reflected in the details shown.

Using the mAadhaar App

Download and install the mAadhaar app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Open the app and register your Aadhaar profile.

Navigate to the 'Check Update Status' option within the app. Enter your URN and Aadhaar number. The app will display the current status of your address change.

Via SMS Service

Send an SMS to 1947. The SMS format should be: UID STATUS <14-digit Update Request Number>. You will receive an SMS containing the status of your address update.

What to Do If Your Address Change Fails

If your address change request fails, the UIDAI will provide a reason for the rejection. Common reasons include incorrect documentation or mismatched information.

You can re-apply for an address change. Ensure you have the correct supporting documents as specified by UIDAI.

Important Considerations

Keep your URN safe as it is essential for tracking your update request. Regularly check your Aadhaar details to ensure accuracy. Timely address updates are crucial for seamless access to government services.

Address updates should be done using valid proof of address documents as specified by UIDAI. Only use the official UIDAI portal and avoid third-party websites that may compromise your data.

According to UIDAI, address changes typically take between 15 to 30 days to process after submission. However, this timeframe may vary depending on the volume of requests.

Next Steps

If your address change is successful, download the updated e-Aadhaar from the UIDAI website. Alternatively, you can order an Aadhaar PVC card with the updated address.
