How to Submit Aadhaar Correction Request Online – via UIDAI Website

Only those individuals who have registered their valid mobile number with Aadhaar will be able to update it online. Since online transactions are OTP authenticated, registering your mobile number with Aadhaar becomes mandatory.

You can only make corrections or updates to your address through the online mode. You need to log in to the UIDAI self-service portal https://ssup.uidai.gov.in/ssup/login.html to do this.

Step 1: Log in with your Aadhaar Number or Virtual ID.

Virtual ID (VID) is a random 16-digit number temporarily assigned to your Aadhaar number in order to facilitate authentication or e-KYC.

It allows you to complete the functions required without disclosing your actual Aadhaar number. You can generate a VID on the Aadhaar portal.

Step 2: Complete the Captcha verification.

Step 3: Click on ‘Send OTP’.

Step 4: Enter the received OTP in the field suggested and click on ‘Login’.

Step 5: The next page will give you two choices to update the address:

a) Update Address via Address Proof.

b) Update Address via Secret Code (this is if you already have an Address Validation Letter).

Step 6: If you select ‘Update Address via Address Proof’, then the next screen will show you your current address and then the option of entering your new address.

Step 7: Enter all the relevant details of your new address and click on ‘Preview’.

Step 8: You can either ‘Edit’ the information or ‘Submit’ it after ticking on the consent statement.

Step 9: You have to upload original scanned copy of the valid Proof of Address.

Once the request is submitted, you will receive an Update Request Number (URN). You can track the status of your address change/correction request online on the Aadhaar portal using this number.
