The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), has made a big change in the Aadhaar card address change process.
The facility has been paused on changing Aadhaar card address without address proof till further notice.
Earlier Aadhaar card holders were allowed to update their address where they are presently residing with the consent and authentication of the address verifier. But, this facility has now been halted by UIDAI.
Replying to an Aadhaar Card user, UIDAI has tweeted that the facility to change address in Aadhaar Card using Address Validation Letter facility has been discontinued until further notice. The Aadhaar issuing body has urged the user to update address using another valid PoA document from the list of documents as prescribed by UIDAI.
