Under the new regulations, the Centre is suggesting people to update their documents and information related to Aadhaar card at least once every 10 years from the date of enrollment. This process will help in ensuring the accuracy of information in the Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR). Aadhaar card update online easier now: here is step by step guide.
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) on Tuesday in an official statement informed that Aadhaar card holders can now update their addresses online with the consent of their head of family. It is to be noted that this updating is now an additional feature to the existing address update facility using any valid proof of address document prescribed by UIDAI.
The new process can be initiated after submitting proof of relationship documents like a ration card, mark sheet, marriage certificate, passport etc, mentioning the name of both the applicant and head of family (HOF) and the relationship between them. The process requires OTP-based authentication by the HOF.
In case proof of relationship document is not available, UIDAI provides the resident to submit a self-declaration by the HOF in the UIDAI-prescribed format, as per the statement.
