Your Aadhaar Card is crucial for accessing government services and aid as well as making financial transactions using your bank account. Apart from your name, DOB, and gender, your Aadhaar Card also displays your address. Unlike the first three categories, changes to the address are much more common. If you recently changed your residence, you should update your Aadhaar as soon as you can. Additionally, UIDAI has extended the window to update your Proof of Address and Proof of Identity for free until June 14, 2024. So, let’s take you through the process of changing the address on your Aadhaar Card online and updating your documents.
