Previously Aadhaar card users were allowed to update their address in the absence of document proof. Aadhaar card holders were allowed to update their address –where they are presently residing –with the consent and authentication of the address verifier. The address verifier could be a family member, relative, friends or landlord, who is willing to let the Aadhaar card holder use their address as proof.


But, this facility has now been halted by UIDAI.


Replying to an Aadhaar Card user, UIDAI has tweeted that the facility to change address in Aadhaar Card using Address Validation Letter facility has been discontinued until further notice. The Aadhaar issuing body has urged the user to update address using another valid PoA document from the list of documents as prescribed by UIDAI.


Dear Resident, the Address Validation Letter facility has been discontinued until further notice. Kindly request your address update using another valid PoA document from the list https://t.co/BeqUA0pkqL
