Note – To request for the Address Validation Letter the Resident must get consent from an Address Lender/Verifier who would allow his/her Aadhaar registered Address to be used by the Resident. An Address Lender/Verifier could be a family member/ relative/friend/landlord where the resident is presently residing.

Without Further ado, let’s dive in.

Note – Both Address Lender/Verifier and Resident(You) must have their mobile numbers registered in their Respective Aadhaar.

#9. If they Confirm the consent, then you will get a message about that. Now you have to Login with the Service Request Number(SRN) with the Link.

Note – If the Address Verifier does not give his consent within the required time then the request will be invalid, and you have to initiate the whole process again.

#10. After Logging in Now, you must Preview the Address, Edit the Local Language(only if requires) and click on Submit Button.

#11. An Address Validation Letter will be sent to the Address Verifier’s Address(the person who granted his/her Address) which has a Secret Code Number.

Q. What happens if my Aadhaar is suspended?

A. You can not use your Aadhaar Card for anything which means it will not work anywhere which can be a hurdle in many ways.

In simple words you Aadhaar Number will be something that was never generated.

The Solution is first to Verify your Aadhaar Number which will tell whether your Aadhaar Number Exist or Not.

If it shows Generated, then you are safe otherwise rush to the nearest Aadhaar Enrolment Centre and tell them about the situation.

Make sure to carry a Valid Proof of Identity and Proof of Address for Aadhar which can be required.

Q. Do I have to provide c/o information in the address?

A. No, it is not necessary to provide C/O information in the Address. You can mention W/O, S/O, D/O in your Address. But whatever you will specify will be updated in your Address as well.

Q. How much time does it take to update the address in the Aadhar card?

A. In my Personal Opinion, it will be updated in anywhere between 5-10 days from the date of Request.

But in some cases, it can take a little longer. UIDAI says that it can also take a maximum of 60-90 Days.

So just Hope that it gets updated Soon.
