How to Change Address in Aadhaar Card for Rented House

Living in a rented house and need to update your Aadhaar address? Don’t worry — you can easily change it online or at a nearby Aadhaar centre using valid rental proof. This guide explains the required documents and step-by-step process to update your address correctly.

Why you should update when you rent

When you live at a rented place, your address in Aadhaar should match your current residence. It helps with bank KYC, government benefits, and avoids mismatch problems later.

Quick checklist – rental address update

• Fill in “Address Update” option on the myAadhaar portal or visit an enrolment centre
   
• Submit valid proof of address (rent/lease agreement in your name, utility bill, etc)
   
• If required, get landlord’s consent or NOC letter (if bill not in your name)
   
• Pay the ₹50 fee and keep your SRN/URN for trackin
   
• Download your updated e-Aadhaar once status shows approved
   

What proof works for a rented house

You can use:

• Registered rent/lease agreement in your name (preferred)  
   
• Utility bill (water/electricity) in your name at that address
   
• If utility is in the landlord's name, a letter from the landlord plus utility bill and your tenancy agreement help.
  
   

Example for clarity

Here’s an example: Rahul moved to a flat at 23A New Street on rent. He has a registered lease in his name for 11 months. He logged into the myAadhaar portal, selected “Address Update”, uploaded the lease document, paid the fee, and after five days downloaded the new e-Aadhaar showing 23A New Street. “Quick tip: check your pin code and spelling carefully,” he says.

Tenant vs Landlord roles

• As tenant: Make sure lease is valid, your name appears, start and end date included, address exact.
   
• As landlord: If utility bills or NOC are required, provide them promptly. This speeds the process and avoids rejection.
