Wondering how much time it takes to update an address in Aadhaar? Here’s a quick and clear answer so you know when your new Aadhaar will be ready.

Sometimes faster, sometimes slower depending on your documents.

Quick timeline table

Note: Weekends and holidays are not counted.

Real example: So it feels real

Riya moved to Pune for job. She updated her address online on Monday evening.
On Thursday morning she got SMS: “Your Aadhaar update has been approved.”
4 days only. Nice and quick.

Why delay happens sometimes?

• Document not clearly visible
   
• Signature mismatch in rental paper
   
• Name on Aadhaar and document differs
   
• High workload in UIDAI system
   

Quick tip: Double check your document before submitting.

How to track status?

Just visit myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in → Track Update Request → Enter URN → Done.

Things to remember

• You’ll get an SMS once it’s approved
   
• Download updated e-Aadhaar from the portal
   
• Physical letter arrives later by India Post
   

If rejected once, don’t stress. Fix the document and try again.
