UIDAI: How to update or change address on Aadhaar card online

Changing your house means you have to put in a lot of hard work. While moving objects from one place to another is definitely a big piece of work, a bigger task is to get the address updated in all the government documents including the Aadhaar card. Fortunately, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has provided a facility through which one can update or change the address mentioned in your Aadhaar card. This can be done from your home through UIDAI's online portal.

The only thing that you need to access the service is that your mobile number should be registered with UIDAI. This is because you would require an OTP to complete the process which can only be received on your smartphone through the number registered.
