Update Aadhaar Address Without Supporting Documents

Someone recently shifted to a new city for a job along with their family. Upon reaching there, they easily updated their own new address on Aadhaar using a rent agreement.

But the problem arose when they had no supporting documents to update the new address on their spouse’s and children’s Aadhaar cards.

If you find yourself in a similar situation where you need to update family members’ Aadhaar addresses but lack supporting documents for each individual, don’t worry!

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has an option that allows you to update addresses for your entire family using the Head of Family (HoF) route.

HoF-Based Aadhaar Update Required Documents

The HoF based Aadhaar update process requires just a few key documents:

• The Aadhaar card of the Head of Family whose address has already been updated
• Proof of relationship document(s) showing the names of the applicants and the HoF, along with the relationship between them (father, mother, spouse, son, daughter, etc.)
• Biometrics (fingerprints/iris scan) of the Head of Family for authentication

Acceptable Proof of Relationship Documents

The UIDAI accepts a wide range of documents as valid proof of relationship, including:

• Passport
• Ration/Ration Card
• PDS Card
• Pension Card
• Marriage Certificate issued by the government
• Birth Certificate issued by the government/government-recognized private hospitals (for children aged 0-5 years only)

No Document? No Problem!

If you do not have any of the listed documents, UIDAI allows you to submit a self-declaration form instead. This form can be downloaded from the UIDAI website and printed out.

On the self-declaration form, the Head of Family certifies the relationship with the resident(s) residing at the same address. This document is valid for only 3 months from the date of issue.

It is crucial to carefully check all details before submission to avoid any delays or rejection. Ensure that the names, relationships, and other information are accurate.

Aadhaar Update Process Without Supporting Documents

To initiate the address update, book an appointment at your nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra (ASK/Enrollment Center). You will need to be present along with the family members whose addresses need to be updated.

At the ASK, submit the required documents – the HoF’s updated Aadhaar card, proof of relationship document(s), and any self-declaration forms. The HoF will also need to provide biometrics to authenticate the process.

The total fee for updating addresses of multiple family members is just Rs. 50 per Aadhaar update request.

A Few Important Points

• The Head of Family’s physical presence is mandatory during the update process when using this method, as their biometrics are required for authentication.
• This process is meant for family members residing at the same address as the HoF. If family members live at different addresses, they will need to update their own Aadhaar separately.
• While a self-declaration form is accepted, it is advisable to provide standard proof of relationship documents if available, as they may be considered more reliable.

By following these simple steps, you can easily update your entire family’s Aadhaar address without any major documentation hassles. The HoF based update option makes the process convenient, secure and affordable for households.
