Aadhaar holders can now update addresses online with consent of Head of Family

According to the Ministry of Electronics and IT, this can be done by submitting proof-of-relationship documents like ration card, marksheet, marriage certificate, passport etc, mentioning the name of the applicant and the HoF, the relationship between them, and the OTP-based authentication by the HoF.


The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) on Tuesday announced that residents could now update their Aadhaar addresses online with the consent of the Head of Family (HoF).

“The HoF-based online address update in Aadhaar will be of great help to the relative(s) of a resident like children, spouse, parents etc. who do not have supporting documents in their own name to update address,” announced the UIDAI in its statement.

According to the Ministry of Electronics & IT, this can be done by submitting proof-of-relationship documents like ration card, marksheet, marriage certificate, passport etc, mentioning the name of the applicant and the HoF, the relationship between them, and the OTP-based authentication by the HoF.

With people moving cities and towns due to various reasons within the country, such a facility is expected to be beneficial for millions of people. This choice would be in addition to the existing address update facility using any valid proof-of-address document prescribed by the UIDAI. Any resident above the age of 18 can be an HoF for this purpose and can share his/her address with relatives.

In case the request is closed or rejected due to non-acceptance of HoF or rejected during the process, the service fee (Rs. 50) shall not be refunded to the applicant.
