The address on your Aadhaar card is essential for many daily and formal tasks. Inaccurate or out-of-date addresses can cause serious problems, for examples:

Your Aadhaar card has your address printed on it, and this information is used for many official and daily tasks. For example:
Banks check your Aadhaar address before sending cheque books, credit cards, or other important documents.

Government schemes like subsidies, pensions, or scholarships may also use your Aadhaar address to verify your eligibility.

So, if your address on the Aadhaar card is wrong or outdated—say you've moved to a new house—it can cause delays or prevent you from getting important benefits.
To fix this, you need to update your Aadhaar address. Thankfully, the UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) gives you two options to update it:
Online Method – For just changing your address, you can do it completely online, using a computer or mobile, without visiting any Aadhaar center.

Offline Method – If you're changing other personal details like your name, phone number, photo, or fingerprints (biometrics), then you'll need to go to an authorized Aadhaar enrolment center in person.
