Aadhaar cards have become mandatory for everything today and it’s probably the biggest proof of identity that you can show an official to get your work done.
Aadhaar cards have become mandatory for everything today and it’s probably the biggest proof of identity that you can show an official to get your work done.
A number of people move houses after registering themselves with UIDAI for their Aadhaar, so the old address is what is displayed on their Aadhaar.
However, you can now change your address online.
Here are the steps.
1 Visit the UIDAI website here.
2 On the website click on this option to change your address. A webpage opens to a new tab
3 Here, enter your Aadhaar number and you’ll get the text verification code to get the OTP, which will be sent to your mobile phone
4 Next, you need to choose whether you want to change the Aadhaar card address by area pin code or by address.
5 On the next page, fill in the required details and click on Submit.
6 You will also need to submit a proof of your address such as phone bill, electricity bill, property document, etc
7 The last step is to select the BPO service provider, which you can do by clicking on the radio button next to the service providers’ names, and clicking Submit.
Earlier, it was announced that those who have not yet linked their Aadhaar with bank accounts, mobile phones or other services can rest easy as Attorney General KK Venugopal indicated that it was open to extending the looming deadline beyond March 31.
Venugopal's submission came on the heels of the observation that the ongoing matter in the Supreme Court – the constitutional validity of Aadhaar has been challenged - may not reach its logical conclusion by the end of this month.
Earlier in February, a five-judge constitution bench — which also includes Justices AK Sikri, AM Khanwilkar, DY Chandrachud and Ashok Bhushan, began hearing a batch of petitions that questioned the validity of the Aadhaar Act.
Weeks on, only three lawyers representing the petitioners have completed their submissions. Senior advocate Arvind Datar, who is currently making his submissions, is one of the five more who has yet to conclude. Once the petitioners rest their case, the Centre, UIDAI – the authority in charge of issuing the unique 12-digit biometric identification number, the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat will then respond.
